I think in episode 6, Jing said to his maid, Jing Ye, that he is "not qualified to support others," but I disagree. he has done nothing but support everyone: supporting CX with politics, supporting XL with clothing and medicines for his soldiers, supporting FL by giving him his ideas to take so he could be an assist to CX, and even supporting XY with checking up on her family in rejuvenation hall.
I agree, he is always self-deprecating, and that's part of his character's story. He's lost all his self-confidence after what his brother did to him. After being saved by XY, I feel like he clung to her so strongly because she was the first one in a very long time who did not run away from his disgraced, scarred self.
However, I think by ep 6 of S2, while he still longs for XY, he just wants her to be happy and is able to let go and let her decide. Can't wait to see XY pursue TSJ in the next episodes for a change.
And yes, if I were to sit down with him, I'd let him know to his face that he's being doing all kinds of things for others without getting credit for it, so he should stop doubting himself. He says that his heart is too small, it can contain only one (XY), but I disagree with him. He has the smarts to get things done, and despite what he says, he still cares about a lot of people and matters, not just XY.
