> Resumos de Fifteen Years to Wait for Migratory Birds
Fifteen years prior, Pei Shangxuan, deep in thought, recalled past events. He surprised Li Li, who had refused to let him copy answers and expected a blank paper, by completing a test for the first time. This shocking feat impressed High Teacher, who praised Pei Shangxuan in front of the entire class. Pei Shangxuan proudly displayed his completed paper to Li Li and boasted to the teacher.
That evening, Li Jun eagerly awaited Pei Shangxuan to take her home on his bicycle, cherishing the rare opportunity. However, a teacher entered the classroom with a letter for Li Li from the "Bird Watching Magazine Association." The unusual name piqued Pei Shangxuan's curiosity, and the teacher entrusted him with delivering it to Li Li, who had already left school.
Pei Shangxuan, eager to deliver the letter, told Li Jun to wait for him at school, promising to return quickly after catching Li Li. Li Jun was deeply disappointed and remained at school, waiting alone until closing time, feeling foolish and sad that Pei Shangxuan had not kept his word. This incident marked the beginning of her resentment towards him. On her way home, Li Li witnessed a thief stealing a grandmother's wallet. She immediately shouted and chased the thief.
Pei Shangxuan, riding his bicycle to catch up with Li Li, swiftly jumped off his bike, tackled the thief, and recovered the wallet. Li Li noticed Pei Shangxuan had injured his ankle when tackling the thief, though he dismissed it. Pei Shangxuan then gave her the letter, which contained a bird watching magazine. Li Li, whose family had stopped subscribing a year ago due to financial difficulties, cherished the magazine. Pei Shangxuan promised to collect future issues for her.
During the first inter-school soccer match, Pei Shangxuan's skillful play led to a victory, but it aggravated his leg injury. Despite the school doctor advising a month of no strenuous activity, Pei Shangxuan continued to play, scoring a crucial goal with a handsome move that thrilled his fans. Li Li worried about his injury during the game. High Teacher awarded a banner to Pei Shangxuan and Li Li for their brave act of catching the thief.
Standing shoulder to shoulder, holding the banner, their friendship deepened through this shared experience. Li Li visited Pei Shangxuan in the school infirmary, which led to teasing from classmates. She realized she could worry about someone she previously disliked, questioning if it was friendship or something more. Li Jun, who harbored a secret crush on Pei Shangxuan, felt a mix of bitterness and complex emotions watching their closeness.
Meanwhile, Li Li's mother found a new partner, and Li Li was soon to move into her stepfather's home. Her stepfather's son, Liu Qianren, who was slightly older than Li Li, harbored intense resentment and dissatisfaction towards his father's remarriage and the arrival of Li Li and her mother. He confronted Li Li, explicitly warning her against his father forming a new family.
Distraught by Liu Qianren's intimidation and the domestic turmoil, Li Li encountered Li Jun on her way home. Li Jun, feeling wronged and hurt that Pei Shangxuan's injury from the thief incident had prevented him from picking her up, lashed out at Li Li. Li Jun accused Li Li of their inappropriate closeness and expressed her own deep insecurity, feeling like an "ugly duckling" overshadowed by Li Li's "Snow White" qualities. Li Li's mood plummeted due to these family and friendship troubles.
