Fifteen Years to Wait for Migratory Birds Episode 19 Recap
> Fifteen Years to Wait for Migratory Birds Recap
Li Li designed multiple team emblems, ultimately creating a distinctive one featuring a pistol and a rose, which conveyed a heroic spirit asserting women's capabilities equal to men's. Liu Qianren affirmed her novel design, though he expressed concern that its unconventional approach might lead to failure. Han Yichen, observing Liu Qianren's smile while he approved Li Li's design and explained precautions, realized that his feelings for Li Li were not merely professional.
The team emblem competition against Han Yichen was scheduled for Christmas Day. To prepare, Li Li worked extensive overtime, even feeling physically unwell but dismissing her symptoms. Pei Shangxuan, showing his care, brought Li Li late-night snacks and fed them to her by hand, allowing her to continue working. Meanwhile, Han Yichen discovered Li Li had given Liu Qianren a Christmas gift and suspected a secret relationship between them.
She approached Liu Qianren with a proposal to cooperate and sabotage the relationship between Li Li and Pei Shangxuan. However, Liu Qianren, acting with integrity, straightforwardly refused her offer. Unwilling to concede, Han Yichen had also met with the client, Luo Can, the night before the competition, subtly attempting to influence him.
She also tried to undermine Li Li by revealing that Pei Shangxuan was giving a venture capital speech that day, suggesting she could help him succeed faster and questioning what Li Li could contribute. However, Li Li understood Pei Shangxuan's desire to achieve success through his own efforts. On Christmas Day, during the competition, Li Li presented her design unconventionally.
She played a video recorded by Luo Can's fans, which Pei Shangxuan had provided, along with Luo Can's past match recordings. This presentation successfully touched Luo Can's heart, deeply moving him. Li Li then articulated her sports philosophy, emphasizing that women, like men, can excel on the sports field, a concept her pistol and rose emblem perfectly embodied. Luo Can, finding her design concept perfectly aligned with his understanding of sportsmanship, immediately selected Li Li's emblem.
This victory also meant Li Li secured Luo Can as a strong entrepreneurial partner for Pei Shangxuan, complete with a stadium and players. Han Yichen, bitter about losing and seeing Li Li claim the credit, grew more resentful. She sarcastically remarked that Li Li was meeting her boyfriend, Pei Shangxuan, while wearing a gift from another man, Liu Qianren, making the relationship between Liu Qianren and Li Li awkward.
Liu Qianren, who had once sent Li Li a broken mirror, used the Christmas occasion to give her a complete, undamaged mirror, subtly expressing his admiration, which caught Li Li off guard. That Christmas, a special holiday for couples, Pei Shangxuan dressed as Santa Claus for Li Li, and they had a joyful night out, sharing hugs and kisses.
In contrast, Daniel had to miss Christmas dinner with Li Jun, abandoning her with a "pale sorry," because he had an appointment with Mr. Shen, who had the potential to package him as an Asian superstar. Li Jun, who had painstakingly prepared dinner, waited alone at home, deeply disappointed. When Li Li returned home, Daniel also arrived. Li Jun pretended to be sound asleep on the table.
Daniel, feeling helpless, complained to Li Li about the inconveniences of being a star, making it difficult for him to spend time with Li Jun. The next morning, Li Jun admitted to Li Li that she had deliberately feigned sleep to make Daniel reflect on his actions. Li Li continued to experience physical discomfort, including waking up with a nosebleed the next morning, but she still dismissed these as minor ailments. Later, during a company meeting, Li Li suddenly fainted.
Liu Qianren, alarmed, immediately rushed her to the hospital. Simultaneously, Li Jun faced the imminent end of her relationship with Daniel. Mr. Shen, the representative of a Korean entertainment company, had confirmed his desire to sign Daniel, requiring him to go to Korea for several years of training and development. This forced Daniel to choose between his career and Li Jun. With ulterior motives, Han Yichen also recommended Li Li to head an out-of-town branch for the Autochuang company, placing Li Li in a difficult position shortly before she fainted.
