> Fifteen Years to Wait for Migratory Birds Recap
The story begins with a significant birdwatching trip where Li Li and Pei Shangxuan shared a special moment in the reed fields, making a beautiful promise that "they will return next year, and so will we," and "wherever we are, as long as we agree, we will definitely return." During this romantic scene, Li Li developed deep feelings for the handsome Pei Shangxuan, with the seed of love taking root in her heart, making her even more attentive to him.
She expressed a desire to return the following year with Pei Shangxuan to see the migratory birds. However, upon their return to school, Pei Shangxuan denied having seen the migratory birds, hiding the incident from Han Yichen due to concerns about her jealousy. This negation rendered their promise fleeting, as if it had never happened, leaving Li Li deeply disappointed. As autumn, a melancholic season, arrived, Li Li found herself missing her father, who had passed away years ago.
Adding to her sorrow, her close friend, Li Jun, who had supported her through many challenges, was transferring schools. Li Jun proposed a farewell gathering for that evening. Li Li arrived early, having prepared a gift and determined to confess her feelings to Pei Shangxuan. She was extremely nervous, and as she began to speak, managing to utter "I like you," Han Yichen unexpectedly arrived, running over to Pei Shangxuan.
Pei Shangxuan was notably wearing a matching outfit with Han Yichen, further disrupting Li Li's meticulously planned confession. Li Li felt her first love was abruptly shattered by Han Yichen's untimely appearance, forcing her to reluctantly accept what felt like unfair treatment. Han Yichen, described as a smart girl who, despite being disliked by most, maintained a sweet and friendly smile. The next day, Li Li tearfully bid farewell to Li Jun at the school gate, feeling heartbroken and inconsolable.
As Li Jun departed by car, Li Li cried uncontrollably, feeling as if her world had collapsed. A male classmate compassionately offered her tissues, while Daniel, a new transfer student from Taiwan, also comforted her. Daniel had just transferred to Li Li's school and was shown around by her. Still grieving her friend's departure, Li Li remained quiet and serious, which annoyed the outgoing Daniel, who complained about her solemn demeanor.
The class atmosphere was strange, with Pei Shangxuan staring at Han Yichen, while Han Yichen, who believed handsome boys should revolve around her, had a crush on Daniel. However, Daniel showed affection for Li Li. Later, while passing the playground, they saw Pei Shangxuan playing football with his friends. When a ball was accidentally kicked off the field, Daniel, despite appearing delicate, displayed surprising leg strength, kicking the ball back like a lightning bolt, astonishing everyone.
Meanwhile, under Li Li's positive influence, Liu Qianren began to accept Li Li's mother, accepting milk from her. This change in attitude delighted Li Li's mother, giving her a sense of accomplishment, and made their home a warmer place. For the class cultural performance, Li Li, Daniel, Han Yichen, and Pei Shangxuan formed a four-person drama group tasked with performing the classic story of Romeo and Juliet.
Li Li was forced to take full responsibility for rehearsing the stage play, and due to Han Yichen's presence, Li Li was assigned the role of the maid, while Han Yichen played Juliet. Daniel and Pei Shangxuan then disagreed over who would portray Romeo, leading them to decide on an acting competition to determine the winner. Pei Shangxuan ultimately lost the competition. During the performance, Daniel also kissed Han Yichen's hand, which further angered Pei Shangxuan.
Feeling that Li Li had not sided with him and enraged by the events, Pei Shangxuan angrily said "goodbye" to Li Li and stormed off. The very next day, Pei Shangxuan sent a challenge to Daniel for a decisive football match. This scheduled football battle was set to occur on the same day that superior leaders were expected to visit the school for an inspection.
