I’ve tried to understand and interpret the meaning of these fruits so I got this so far :1. Jian yi is a pineapple according to Mo bc it hurts his mouth meaning that Mo is one of these ppl who cannot stand pineapple taste (m so glad m not the only one lmao). He hates jian yi’s yapping so he scold him everytime that’s why jian yi hurts his mouth. However I looked at the meaning of a pineapple in chinese culture n it’s associated with good luck as pineapple sounds like "luck coming your way" in chinese. We could interpret it as although mo finds jian yi’s nonenses annoying, he thinks that jian yi had bring more luck and joy than misfortune in his life since he met him.
2. Jian yi sees mo as a durian with red stinky shell due to mo always protecting himself in his walls and not letting anyone enter it. He is always on guard that he repels anyone that tries to approach him (the stinky smell and hard spiky shell of the durian). However when you are able to gain his trust, he is one the sweetest person you ever meet (the durian fruit in itself). China also consider durians as the king if fruits so I think Jian Yi sees mo as an outstanding, fierce person with a sweet side in him.
3. Xixi is a pomegranate and I absolutely have no idea how to interpret it, but I’ll try. Xixi is an aloof, taciturn character. He is quite similar to mo in the aspect that he doesn’t share much of his thoughts, also the durian and the pomegranate are quite similar in structure. On the outside, he looks rather discret and quiet like the shell of a pomegranate but on the inside he has many seeds (sorry it sounds weird lmao) meaning many qualities that not everyone is aware of. I also looked at the meaning of pomegranates and it is often related to prosperity, so I’ll interpret it as Xixi also having many love (many seeds of love) to share with the people he cares about.
4. He Tian is a banana n I heard from my chinese friend that they refere someone who’s chinese that doesn’t speak chinese as a banana (yellow aka chinese on the outside and white aka western on the inside). However he tian speaks chinese, so I’ll interpret it as Tian is more open and laid back unlike strict chinese culture. He is a bit annoying, not serious and childish at times, mostly when he teases and jokes around, but he is also a very cheerful guy at heart, always outgoing and ready to help his friends no matter what happens.
Plz feel free to add something that I had missed or if you interpreted something differently than I did
