I have some ray of hope but up to this point, I won't say it's impossible but I don't see it happening either.
I think that's a possibility, but I also think a romantic relationship can also be possible. I say this because, at least to me, this comic is so original in its character development and its unpredictability that it's hard to tell where it's really going to end up. I mean, did anyone see the chapter ending up with Jian Yi crying? I sure didn't (I wasn't expecting sex either for the record but I didn't see it being such an emotional chapter). There's still so much mystery to these characters as well. We don't completely know what Xi is thinking...so I say anything is possible. That's just me. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
That's why I say I don't see it being impossible but I seriously don't understand why everyone is like "just go and fuck". It's like we aren't reading the same thing. Here we are experiencing something so good, their emotions are there and one can feel sympathetic about them and that's what people think? I'm not sure I'm explaining myself but it's like people can't see the delicate situation. I was talking to a friend about this and we agreed the only certain thing is that they want to be together no matter what, be it as friends or whatever and that's just so beautiful.
Guys, I so want them to be together but I don't think that's going to happen. Yes, his friend loves him but I doubt he has romantic feelings towards him. Yes, he puts him above everything else but I don't feel it's something romantic. I'd love for them to be together but that's what I feel.
