*IF* I was watching Journey with You, Pei Yanzhi coughing blood in episode six would be the moment I'd start stressing about a tragic ending.
But because I'm *NOT* watching it, I'm just going to believe it's a beautiful and bright happy ending for these color-coded boys in love.
Because things just seem better for both of them now that they are slowly getting on the same "we can't let the crowned prince win" page and the "we love each other in a very homosexual way" page.
Even though they are still being watched by the evil crowned prince, their unexpressed love helped them the first time around with the aid of the wolf's tooth, so hopefully the second time around, they'll be even stronger.
Pei Yanzhi is still being secretive, but he has always loved Yin Qi which can been seen as he partly wears Yin Qi's color while he asks for Boss Lin to help him protect the fifth prince.
And he has more barriers with his uncle now than he did before.
But also, the boys seem to be aligning their colors.
They both bare the same mark as a reminder for their mistake in the past life of not trusting each other.
And now, even though one is still dark and the other is light, they both wear shades of blue.
Which reminds me of another person in blue who might get a second chance to right the errors of the past.
By redirecting the future.
When Boss Lin was younger, she was a strong and loyal Blue Beauty.
And she was in love with a beautiful Pink Person.
That beautiful Pink Person was gifted with many talents.
Yet she wanted to fight, so the Blue Beauty taught her.
But the Pink Person caught the attention of the Emperor and was forced into a cage at the royal palace never to see the Blue Beauty again.
Years later, she would die in a beautiful pink room in the palace.
With a reminder of their love.
And she would leave behind a daughter who equaled her in talent and beauty.
But with a pretty color of her own.
Who also wished to be free.
And her loyal Blue Beauty would go on to raise a Blue Beauty of her own.
Whose fighting skills could rival her aunt's.
With the confidence to match.
And this Blue Beauty and Purple Person would meet again and again.
Only to annoy each other, again and again.
So *IF* I was watching, I'd be rooting for the color-coded boys AND girls to get a second chance at love.
Even if they don't know they want it.
