Lin Xun often felt that he and Lin Si didn't understand each other, even though they were related by blood.

After all, the time they spent together was too short, not even as much as the time he spent with his roommates during his four years of university.

The staff seemed to laugh. "We'll ask your brother about that later. You can check back after the show airs."

"Ouch."

Lin Xun sighed, "Your production team really likes to mess with people's mentality."

Staff member: "Haven't you watched the previous episodes?"

"I've seen it, but being a viewer and experiencing it firsthand are not the same feeling," Lin Xun said.

Staff: "Next question, could you tell us why you chose the order of your parents, sister, and brother when you played the game of teamwork today?"

"My mother is the most vulnerable and needs the most protection. When I was little, I had a minor accident. My mother lost a lot of weight and looked very haggard because she was worried about me."

Lin Xun leaned on the chair and thought for a moment. "My sister taught me a lot of lessons. She was the first person to protect me unconditionally, and I will protect her unconditionally in return. As for my brother, although he is stronger than me and often beats and bullies me at home, I feel that I need to protect him mentally."

"My dad is actually the most cunning person, which is why I put him last in the list."

"So..." the staff member concluded, "did you prioritize based on who needs your protection the most?"

"Yes." Lin Xun nodded.

Staff member: "Have you noticed that you always like to play the protector role?"

"The way I treat someone well is by protecting them." Lin Xun pursed his lips.

This is actually related to his childhood environment.

There is no male figure in the family, only a mother.

Zou Lian is the kind of person who likes PUA (Pick-Up Artist) techniques.

When Lin Xun was young, he often heard Zou Lian say, "You have to grow up quickly so you can protect your mother. They all know there are no men in our family, so they treat your mother like this. I wish you could grow up quickly."

He always longed to grow up so he could protect his mother and fight off those who bullied them.

Even now, even though he has gone from being an illegitimate child to the rightful young master of the Lin family, even though he escaped poverty in an instant and became rich quickly, even though he has slowly grown up, from high school to graduating from university.

This way of loving is still ingrained in Lin Xun's bones.

He wants to be good to someone by putting them in his protective circle.

Even if this kind of protection seems a bit ridiculous.

Staff member: "You seem to lack a lot of security."

"A little," Lin Xun thought for a moment. "Actually, I'm a bit pessimistic. I'm even afraid of happiness and joy."

The staff member was a woman with a very gentle voice, like a psychologist.

"Why?" she asked softly.

Lin Wu also subconsciously held her breath.

The comments section went quiet for a moment.

"Because... happiness is always followed by sadness, and bliss is always followed by hardship," Lin Xun said.

Staff member: "This isn't absolute; you might be one of the minority."

"But if you're always in a state of happiness, your emotions will become numb, and you'll feel happy less and less often, which is also a form of unhappiness." Lin Xun adjusted his posture.

"You've stumped me," the staff member laughed. "Let's try a different question then. Are you a people-pleaser?"

Lin Xun: "Why do you ask that?"

Staff member: "During the filming these past few days, you liked to be funny and liven up the atmosphere. You were always the first to ask when others encountered problems. But during the last interview, we felt that you weren't the cheerful type of person."

"I'm not exactly an outgoing person, nor would I be considered a people-pleaser," Lin Xun thought for a moment. "Because it depends on the situation. I only become proactive when I want to do something well."

Staff member: "So you really want to do well on the show and get along well with everyone, right?"

"These are all secondary," Lin Xun said without hesitation.

Staff member: "What's the main reason for that?"

"The main reason is that I wanted Lin Si to have fun and everyone to have a good time. I hope he won't regret going on the show."

Lin Xun braced his hands on the stool, wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt. In this position, the bones on both sides of his shoulders were very obvious.

"After all, he didn't plan to be on the show at first. He lost the finals a while ago, and there's been a lot of public discussion about it lately. I had to beg him for two days before he finally agreed to come."

"I see," the staff member said. "I hope you both have a great time."

The scene shifts.

Lin Si walked out from off-camera and entered the frame.

He sat on the stool and turned around twice on his own.

The staff member smiled and asked, "You seem to be in a good mood today?"

"It's alright."

Lin Si's lips curled slightly. "After all, we caught the wolf right away."

"That's definitely something to be happy about."

The staff member said, "So, did you genuinely notice something was wrong with him, or were you simply trying to bluff?"

"I sense something's off about him."

Lin Si thought for a moment and said, "He's very guilty. He only acts like this when he has ulterior motives."

"It seems you know him quite well," the staff member said.

"He is my younger brother."

Lin Si said.

After that sentence was spoken, the comments scrolled around quite quickly.

The implication is that I know him very well.

Lin Xun, you're absolutely right. You're a coward. You don't even dare to believe that your brother truly understands you.

Lin Xiaoxun, your brother really loves you, but he's not good at saying it.

The awkwardness and timidity in romantic relationships only make me angry, but I find familial love so precious.

[Actually, I used to watch Lin Xun's live streams quite often, but I wasn't very interested in him back then. I thought he was noisy even when he was eating, and sometimes I would even block his live streams. But after watching the show this time, my opinion has completely changed. This noisy person is actually a quiet and pessimistic one.]

[Our Xiao Xun is incredibly thoughtful and attentive. I've attended his offline events twice, and he remembered me both times.]

Staff: "Next question, why did you put your older sister first?"

Lin Si was taken aback, seemingly not expecting this question to arise.

"Because she is the most important, she is number one."

Staff member: "Are you close to your sister?"

Lin Si was quiet for a while, then said, "It wasn't very good before, but it's very good now."

Staff member: "So, Xiao Xun said during the day that you cried when your sister first started dating, is that true?"

"no."

Lin Si said, "He was joking."

Staff member: "Really? Judging from how much you're obsessed with your sister, it seems like what Xiao Xun said might be true."

"Her boyfriend is great, he treats her well, and she's very happy." Lin Si thought for a moment, "If she's happy, I won't be too sad."
