Funny how the boards for this movie only get comments a few times every other year or so.
Anyway, it was definitely all in the eyes. I think it all went back to conversations they had earlier about their future together, about running away and getting married. The school would have closed, but I don't think the Japanese would have straight up killed everyone, it would have been too risky. So up until Chen ran out and shouted, the both of them still had a shot of making it out together. Of course if he was capable of running away, there would have been a very different movie from the get-go, that's just not something he was capable of doing.
The looks they exchanged, at least to me, was one of disappointment and profound sadness on her part. Kind of like a 'we could have been together' look. His return look to me just said, 'I am sorry, but you know it has to be this way'. They clearly knew each other well enough to know exactly what was being said without having to actually say it. She probably had the feeling all along that he was not going to make it out of that situation alive, which makes their conversation scenes where she talks about their dreams that much more poignant.
At least in my opinion, anyway.

Chen was quite gay.
