I was rewatching CQL episode 3 to clarify a plot-point for a fic. And I got to that scene where LWJ and LXC are talking in the gardens.
And I am once again SCREAMING over LXC looking his baby brother in the face and saying, "I sometimes wonder if I was too strict with you."

SIR?!
YOU?!
The most indulgent older sibling in Ancient Fantasy China?!
You think you might have been TOO STRICT?!

LXC has exactly three modes:
#1 - Spoil my didi
#2 - Tease my didi
#3 - Protect my didi
That's it. That's all he's capable of. He's got nothing else to give.

And he says the line in such a serious, sorrowful way!
Like, "Oh, no. I had to raise my little brother after our parents died, and I'm just not sure I did a good job. Was I too strict? 🥺"

Sir. You could not be strict with your little Wangji if your entire life depended on in. I think you can let go of that fear.
You absolutely doofus.
You absolutely doofus.
'Too strict'.
We all know you spent half your childhood smuggling candy to your baby brother and personally bandaging his boo-boos.
And now you have the audacity look tragic and forlorn, and wonder if you were 'too strict'.
