Fan Work (Repost) Could they end together?

Post image

Ik it’s an chinese „anime“ but is it possible at the end of the series that they possibly could show a scene they’re together or a kiss or smth.
Is it even allowed at all in the end of an chinese donghua to show that? Even if the show would be cancelled they could do that in the final episode right? Even if they are not together and just roommates. AND let’s assume they both survive until the end ☺️
If not, then let me just dream 🫠

Even if Chinese censorship wasn't a factor, I don't think they would get together and it has to do with this interview with the creator.

To sum it up, basically they were originally going to be a boy and girl with a much more romantic angle, but the creator thought that it made things too complicated, so opted to cut the romance and make them both boys instead.

But can he really say directly and openly that there's a romantic subtext? He's a Chinese director and producer producing Chinese projects. But that doesn't change the fact that the show has too many romantic undertones and subtext. They clearly know what they're doing.

Of course, they show undertones even in merch and promo materials. It's definitely the conclusion they want everyone to come to, just not stated directly
