Analyzing Xinlu's behavior, I think he likes Taeui but in a way he's obsessed with him to steal or win over Ilay, remember Ling family are quite greedy, that means in achievements too. He likes the idea of winning Taeui, he loathes Ilay with every fiber of his being. Anyway, he's being stupid and pissy rn and acting like a child bc he not only he lost his eye, he lost to Ilay.
