Migratory bird, can we see each other again after parting
When Pei Shangxuan and Han Yichen spoke alone for the first time, he heard the sound of his heart beating like a drum, and his heart was beating eagerly, as if it couldn't wait to rush out of his throat.
The girl smiled, so warm and moving that it seemed like a spring breeze that could wake up the earth. Han Yichen tilted his head to listen to the hustle and bustle outside the campus, and said slowly, "It's such a noisy world."
Pei Shangxuan remained silent, looking cool. If Li Li was present, he would definitely laugh that he was pretending to hide his bewilderment. Fortunately, Han Yichen didn't know him that well, he just thought he was a boy with a great personality.
"Pei Shangxuan, I like you." The girl confessed openly and generously, unlike ordinary girls who coddle for a long time when handing him a birthday card.
Pei Shangxuan was so happy that he almost fainted, his lips moved, but he couldn't utter any decent sentences. After being stunned for a long time, he said in a rough voice, "Boys should be the first to speak about this kind of thing."
Han Yichen smiled without saying a word, his long eyelashes fluttering as he blinked, "Then, do you like me?"
Pei Shangxuan stared blankly at the pair of black and white eyes, imitating the appearance in the TV series, leaned over and kissed the girl's cheek—in the quiet playground after school, the soft feather kiss was as beautiful as a fairy tale.
"Do you like me?" the girl asked.
The boy under the age of fifteen suddenly grabbed the girl's slender shoulders and pulled her into his immature embrace. He grabbed her lips hard and sucked wantonly.
"Tell me, do I like you?" Pei Shangxuan asked aggressively.
Han Yichen wiped his lips with the back of his hand, blinked and said softly, "Pei Shangxuan, I want to hear from you."
This is the confidence of a beautiful girl who knows her strengths and uses them well. Pei Shangxuan raised his pretty face, looked at the flagpole on the top of the teaching building and said quickly, "I like you, Han Yichen."
The girl then smiled brightly, her face was like a flower.
Pei Shangxuan and Han Yichen started dating.
One early morning in April, mist curled around the quiet campus, and the early birds ate the worms and sang happily. Pei Shangxuan patted Li Li's shoulder and said to her, "I hope you and Han Yichen can be friends."
Li Li stared at the handsome young man with a serious face, and sighed in her heart—she had guessed the beginning of some things, and also predicted the ending: Pei Shangxuan really had someone he liked, and she was extraordinarily beautiful.
The dew from last night has not yet evaporated, rolling glisteningly on the fresh green grass leaves, this is a morning that is so fresh that it does not feel cruel.
Li Li once complained to her little uncle: "How do I know who can't like me?" She really didn't understand at the time, but now she vaguely understands a truth: Pei Shangxuan is the person who can't like herself—this fact is heartbreaking.
Li Li nodded her head and said "OK" lightly.
Li Li became Han Yichen's friend. Because of her intervention and Pei Shangxuan's appeal, the balance of power between the two camps in the class has changed significantly. The girls who were originally neutral or dragged by Wu Lina and the others to target Han Yichen turned against each other, and Han Yichen's circle of friends suddenly expanded a lot.
After leaving the school gate, Li Li often saw Pei Shangxuan holding Han Yichen's hand—this pair was very conspicuous in the bustling crowd. She followed a few steps behind, walking home unhurriedly.
Those joyful times of frolicking and going home together are gradually stained with the dust of the years. Nostalgic, but gone with the wind.
Pei Shangxuan quit the school chorus team. On the one hand, he was about to graduate in one year, and on the other hand, he was in the worst stage of voice change, so he made up his mind to speak less.
Li Li was the first to notice his abnormality. The boy who usually talks so much nonsense in class that people want to put tape on his mouth, was praised by Li Fengzhu in the class meeting for his progress in observing discipline, which made the students stunned.
After Li Li finished her meal, she went to the door of Pei Shangxuan's house on the pretext of taking a walk to help her digestion, and called his name loudly under the window. Pei Shangxuan poked his head out holding the rice bowl, pointed to his own bowl and signaled her to wait for a while.
Li Li waited for five minutes, the stairs light came on, and he opened the door after a while and came out. He lifted his chin towards her, still not speaking.
"Hey, it's just changing your voice. Do you need to be so nervous?" Boys' voice-changing period is an embarrassing time. Heartless boys and girls often burst into laughter when they hear strange voices from their companions. Embarrassed people are even more helpless.
Pei Shangxuan stroked her ponytail, and said in a rough voice, "It's not for this." Pei Shangxuan's voice was a little weird, as if it had been polished on rough sandpaper.
Li Li raised her head and squinted her eyes, smiling happily, "Idiot, when everyone pays more attention to what you say than others, no matter what your voice becomes, no one will care."
Pei Shangxuan didn't fully understand what she meant, but he understood one thing: Li Li was comforting himself not to care. Strangely enough, his mood improved inexplicably.
"Have you ever laughed at me?" He asked worriedly.
Li Li smiled slyly, waved her hands and turned around, "It's time for my walk, I'm home, bye."
"Hey, girl, you haven't answered my question yet." Pei Shangxuan called out, completely ignoring whether the weird voice would embarrass others.
Li Li turned her head and smiled brightly, "If I don't laugh at you, wouldn't I be at a loss?"
The boy stood there stamping his feet and complaining, accusing Li Li, a friend, of doing too much. It's just that he forgot to inquire, why did she walk out of the shadows after she only said a word
After entering the third grade, Pei Shangxuan was going to apply to Li Fengzhu for a seat change. In the summer vacation that just passed, he and Han Yichen often went swimming, and their relationship developed by leaps and bounds, like glue.
Before Pei Shangxuan went to the office to find the head teacher, he asked Li Li for advice—after all, they were good friends, and she always spared no effort to help him tide over the difficulties whenever he missed class and was caught by the teacher answering questions.
Li Li has a strange feeling of being abandoned, which is quite funny. She smiled indifferently, pretending not to care, and said, "Thank God, I can finally get rid of you idiot!"
The youthful boy bent over and messed up her short hair. During the summer vacation, Li Li cut off the long hair that she had kept for a long time, and cut a refreshing ponytail - this hairstyle is much prettier than the slender ponytail she used to have. When he returned to school, Pei Shangxuan fussed and turned her head around and studied for a long time. He was surprised that Li Li, who had refused to change her hairstyle in the past, would cut off her long hair cruelly. Li Li giggled and didn't speak - Pei Shangxuan would never understand her intention of cutting her hair.
What Li Li usually does when she sees a girl in a TV drama after she loses her love is to cut her hair. It seems that under the dexterous cutting of the hairdresser, all those three thousand troubles, including the sadness, will all leave her.
Li Li is not broken in love, but her nostalgia is like a beautiful soap bubble—it used to be colorful, but in the end it cannot escape the fate of cracking and shattering.
Pei Shangxuan yelled that Li Li's mouth is too bad.
Li Li didn't speak, just smiled faintly, looked up at Pei Shangxuan. Her eyes were deep and mournful—eyes could not lie, they gave away secrets, and she couldn't bear to be without him by her side.
Pei Shangxuan stared at Shang Li Li, and couldn't help being slightly startled, he subconsciously let go of the hand that tortured her short hair, a strange emotion slipped across his heart, catching the young man by surprise.
"If there is no Han Yichen, do you want to change seats?" Li Li lowered her head, her tone was disturbed, and she twisted her clothes uneasily with her fingers.
Pei Shangxuan shook his head, if Han Yichen hadn't acted coquettishly and said that he wanted to get closer to him, he would never have thought about it - he was used to waking up from a doze in every class and leaning on his arms to watch Li Li seriously copying notes
He no longer finds her ugly when she wears glasses; he is used to being scolded by her as a "stupid" by her ears, and being criticized by her for eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and he understands that Li Li's mean mouth is actually a real thing. He cared deeply about himself; he was used to her cloudy and inscrutable words, although the limitation of his understanding would make him not quite understand.
"If you go, the chances of success will not be very high. The whole school is spreading rumors about your relationship with Han Yichen. Do you think Mr. Li will let you develop publicly? If you say you are stupid, you really don't use your brain." Li Li returned to normal, without any hesitation. Teased mercilessly, "I'll tell you for you, let you owe me a favor."
"I don't want it!" Pei Shangxuan was dissatisfied with Li Li's attitude of controlling everything, "I can handle it myself."
Pei Shangxuan stopped in front of the office door, suddenly felt unspeakable pain in his heart, a dull pain like the separation of flesh and blood. He hesitated for two minutes, then turned and left resolutely.
Back in the classroom, Pei Shangxuan walked up to Han Yichen and lied calmly, "Ms. Li refused, I'm sorry."
Han Yichen couldn't hide his disappointment, and asked unwillingly, "Why did you tell Teacher Li? And... why did the teacher disagree?"
Pei Shangxuan rolled his eyes impatiently, sat down on Han Yichen's desk with his hands in his trouser pockets, leaned over to her, and replied bluntly: "Why do you ask so many questions, if you don't agree, you don't agree. I'm not pleasing to the eye."
"Then, let Li Li talk about it? If you say that you affect her in class, Teacher Li will definitely agree." With her beautiful face up, she shook his sleeves with both hands, "Shang Xuan, I think You sit near me."
Pei Shangxuan turned his head, looked around at Li Li who had just returned to the classroom, and replied a little uncomfortably: "It's better for us to keep a low profile."
The class bell rang, and Pei Shangxuan walked to his seat.
"Hey, Li Li, it seems that you can't get rid of me as an idiot." Pei Shangxuan snatched her physics textbook and said with a relaxed smile, "I didn't bring the physics book with me, so I'll lend you yours."
The physics teacher who was thankful walked into the classroom. It was inconvenient for Li Li to stage a book fight with him. She gave Pei Shangxuan a hard look—although Li Li looked fierce, the soft light in her eyes revealed Her inner joy.
That's great, Pei Shangxuan won't leave.
The TV station introduced a Japanese cartoon "Saint Seiya", and there was a whirlwind of Saint Seiya in the whole school. Li Li is as addicted to it as everyone else. Whenever she has free time, she either reads comics or carves holy clothes on the table. Before the 800-meter test in physical education class, she also shouts "burn, little universe".
Li Li is not good at manual labor, even if she worked as hard as everyone else, she still couldn't finish engraving a complete golden saint's holy cloth. It is rare for Pei Shangxuan to find a place where he can completely surpass Li Li, and every time he finishes engraving a piece, he will proudly show her the result. He bought a set of engraving paper for the golden holy garment, and planned to give it to Han Yichen as a gift after engraving.
Li Li likes Kamiao, the Saint Seiya of Aquarius. Even though several copies are broken, she still tries to succeed after repeated defeats. Pei Shangxuan laughed at her for being clumsy, but one day when Li Li opened his notebook, he found a carefully carved golden holy cloth of Aquarius.
She tore off a blank piece of paper, wrote "Did it come from you?" on it, and pushed it to Pei Shangxuan, who was at the same table.
He quickly pushed the blank paper back to her and wrote a big "No" under her question. Li Li secretly laughed in her heart—she didn't say what she gave at all, and his reply was equivalent to three hundred taels of silver here.
Li Li was very happy all day, and her good mood lasted until the evening when she went to her stepfather's house for dinner and met Liu Qianren, but it stopped abruptly—since Li Meiqing and Liu Zhixian got married in February, there were only a handful of opportunities for Li Li and Liu Qianren to meet each other. I don't know if it was a coincidence that she chose the timing, or Liu Qianren didn't want to see her and deliberately avoided her. Every time Li Li visited Liu's house, Liu Qianren was always away—either he went out to play with his classmates, or he went to his mother's place.

Liu Qianren once said that he hated Li Li, and passed on his dislike of Li Meiqing to Li Li. Li Li remembered the hatred she saw in his eyes that day - intense and deep-seated.
Li Li still didn't understand where Liu Qianren's resistance came from. The remarriage of his parents was their own business. It's really rare for a son and daughter who are hostile like him. A few years ago, Li Guoqiang became interested in psychology, and there was a copy of Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams" at home—an old book he brought Li Li from the Confucian Temple on a certain Sunday. He turned a few pages and threw them aside, but Li Li read them from the beginning to the end—Li Li guessed: Liu Qianren might have an Oedipus complex—but she only dared to think about it in private, and never had the guts to ask him for proof.
Before dinner, Li Li was sitting on the floor of the living room, lying on the coffee table doing homework. The third year of junior high school is facing entrance examinations. The teachers of each subject have accelerated their teaching progress since the beginning of the term in order to spare time for the second half of the semester to give students a comprehensive review. Therefore, Li Li, a third-year junior high school student, has a lot of homework to do every day.
Liu Zhixian passed her by carrying dishes from the kitchen, expressing his regret, sorry that the dining table was too small for her to do her homework comfortably, and suggested that she might as well go to brother Qianren's room to do it.
Li Li was taken aback, and quickly said that this is fine. For Li Li, the scariest thing is being alone with Liu Qianren. Except for Pei Shangxuan, no one knew Liu Qianren's dislike for their mother and daughter. Everyone just felt that this beautiful young man was too cold and didn't like wasting words.
Liu Qianren came out of his room and went to the tea table to pour water. Seeing this, Li Li moved the book a little away to prevent her homework from being splashed when he poured water.
Liu Qianren smiled wickedly, and with a twist of his wrist, the water glass tilted slightly, a jet of water poured down from the mouth of the glass and wet Li Li's book—the water stain immediately took a large area, "submerging" the work she had just finished. topic.
"Childish." Li Li looked up at the beautiful boy coldly.
Liu Qianren shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "I'm sorry sister, I missed it for a while." He hummed softly with a picky smile, and then commented disdainfully, "You look ugly when you wear glasses."
"It's none of your business whether it looks good or bad." Li Li shook off the water on the homework book, and began to tidy up the textbooks on the coffee table. Liu Qianren's eyes flickered, she sat down on the sofa with a glass of water in her hand, and opened her notebook casually.
"Aquarius Saint Cloth, huh?" Liu Qianren picked up the paper-cut with his slender and fair fingers, looked at Li Li with raised eyebrows, and said disdainfully, "You like it?"
Li Li was in a dilemma. According to her own speculation, Liu Qianren's question was definitely a trap—if she answered "like", he would tear it up without hesitation; if she answered "don't like", he would also say "if you don't like it, just Rip it up" and put it into action. In short, this boy will not let himself have a good time.
Li Li stretched out her arms, and simply skipped his question and asked him to let go, "Give it back to me, this is my thing."
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Liu Qianren's mouth, he suddenly closed his palms, and crumpled the red paper-cut into a ball amidst Li Li's exclamation. Li Li was furious, trembling all over with anger, without thinking, she slapped his handsome face with a slap.
"Li Li, what are you doing!" Li Meiqing, who walked out of the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks, happened to witness this scene, and sternly reprimanded her daughter for her bold behavior.
Liu Qianren covered his burning cheeks, his icy eyes were fixed on the angry girl in front of him. Li Meiqing rushed over and poked Li Li's forehead to ask her to apologize quickly, but Li Li stubbornly pursed her lips and said nothing.
Liu Qianren suddenly had a feeling of irritability and anxiety rushing to his heart. When he was slapped by Li Li just now, he was so shocked. Up to this moment, he still can't believe that she would hit someone - it seems that this weightless engraved paper is very important to her. The meaning is not trivial.
Liu Qianren lowered his head halfway, and the soft hair beside his cheeks covered his expression. The relationship between him and Li Li was doomed at the beginning of their intersection—he appeared in her life as a demon.
Li Li ignored her mother's nagging, and after packing her schoolbag without a word,
Get up and say goodbye. Liu Zhixian went in without knowing it, looked at his silent son at a loss, and then at Li Li who was determined, and had no choice but to remind her to pay attention to safety on the way back.
Li Li ran down the stairs in one breath, the tears she had endured desperately before fell down, she squatted down and sat on the stairs, leaning against the wall and weeping sadly.
That was Camiao's golden holy garment, a gift from Pei Shangxuan to him! The more Li Li thought about it, the more uncomfortable she was, and she buried her head in her arms and refused to lift it up.
The sound of footsteps coming down from the stairs stopped next to her, Li Li moved to the side to let the other person pass by, but this person's target was obviously her, and he stopped beside her without moving.
Li Li raised her head, and the gloomy boy who appeared in her field of vision shocked her greatly. She quickly picked up her schoolbag and got up from the ground, stepping on the stairs and rushing down quickly.
Liu Qianren quickly caught up with her, and he stopped in front of Li Li. Li Li took a step to the left, and he also moved to the left; Li Li tried to go around to the right, but he blocked him again, making it clear that he did not intend to let Li Li pass.
"Aren't you convinced?" Seeing that he couldn't hide, Li Li went all out, puffed out his chest and raised his chin and said loudly, "I'll let you slap me back."
The street lamp dragged Liu Qianren's shadow for a long time, and he stood silently in front of Li Li. Li Li didn't wear glasses, so he couldn't see his expression clearly against the backlight.
"Beating women is something barbarians do." Liu Qianren took a step forward, closing the distance between Li Li and him, "Do you want to know why I hate your mother?"
Li Li paused in her steps to retreat, and waited for the next sentence. Seeing that his words had successfully caught her attention, Liu Qianren smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth curled up. His beauty is already leaning towards femininity, and his weird smile makes people feel even more coquettish than ordinary people. She somehow thinks of the fox fairy and ghost in "Liao Zhai" - silent as a chilling cicada.
"My parents divorced because of your mother, and that's the reason." Liu Qianren said the truth calmly, but buried deep-seated hatred under the seemingly plain voice.
Li Li was obviously shocked by this fact. She always thought that Liu Zhixian only met her mother after the divorce, but she never expected that it was her mother who intervened to destroy other people's family. She looks sorry for the pretty boy.
"I'm sorry, I..." Li Li sincerely apologized for being a disgraceful "third party" to her mother. No wonder Liu Qianren hated their mother and daughter so much, and she wouldn't give others a good look when she was in another place.
Li Meiqing is Li Meiqing, what she does has nothing to do with Li Li, Liu Qianren knows this very well. He didn't want to vent his anger on Li Li, but the obedience and joy shown by this girl when they met for the first time made him furious, and he was unwilling to bear the torture alone. He stretched out his hand and pulled the girl who was unprepared and focused on apologizing to him.
"Li Li, you will pay back what your mother owes me." Liu Qianren declared resentfully, while reaching into the hem of her shirt.
Li Li instantly froze, and a strange high fever ignited where the boy's palm passed. When his hand covered the slightly protruding female symbol on her chest, a sense of shame enveloped the girl's whole body. She pushed Liu Qianren away with all her strength, clutched the clothes on her chest tightly with one hand, and her face was flushed.
Liu Qianren's complexion was cloudy, his intention was a nasty joke, but the soft body touched by his palm made him want to stop - she was a young girl, and any girl in the class could compare Li Li to jumping the Huangpu River. It was this undeveloped body that made his lower abdomen feel hot.
"I warn you, don't appear in front of my eyes again." Liu Qianren put down the sinister threat, turned and walked towards the building where he lived.
Li Li ran away as if she had received an amnesty.
She didn't see the complicated eyes he turned and stared at her back after she left.
When the autumn wind blows, geese fly from the north to the south, and Shanghai has become a transit place for migratory birds once a year. Pei Shangxuan is obsessed with watching birds, and he sighs to Li Li: Migration is the most wonderful life habit of birds.
"Flying thousands of kilometers, how do they find where they want to go?" Pei Shangxuan bent his hand in an arc and placed it above his eyes. He looked up at the flock of birds flying over the city, and shouted to Li Li, "Li Li Look, look, the herringbone flock of geese."
Li Li hurriedly looked up at the sky, and sure enough, she saw the wild geese "arranged in a herringbone shape" that she had read in elementary school books flying across the sky.
Pei Shangxuan still couldn't finish it, and looked back at Li Li, "We went to Nanhui on Sunday, and I heard that there are many migratory birds in the wetland there."
"I'm not going to be the light bulb for you and Han Yichen." Li Li refused, feeling inexplicably depressed.
"Yichen doesn't like birds. She said that things with long feathers and sharp beaks are scary. When we passed by the vegetable market, she would scream when she saw old hens." Pei Shangxuan complained, "You are much braver than her."
Too bad you don't like it brave girl. Li Li snorted contemptuously in her heart. Pei Shangxuan may never have the chance to understand that her bravery comes from him, and he asked for it on her fourteenth birthday. What he said seemed to have installed a phonograph in her heart, and it would not grow old with the passage of time.
Pei Shangxuan habitually ravaged her short hair with his hands, and the stern boy took off his cool guy mask in front of her, even if he was called a "stupid" by her, he would not get angry. After his voice changed into a magnetic baritone, Li Li often teased him for being able to fascinate a lot of girls with his voice alone. Now he is using this deceptive voice to beg her to accompany him to Nanhui to see the migratory birds passing by Shanghai. He said: "Don't you want to see it? Maybe we can see each other next year, or maybe we will never see each other again in our lifetime."
Why do I have nothing to say goodbye to a bird? Li Li felt that Pei Shangxuan was a bit mad, and was just about to mock him for "sorry for writing new words", but suddenly thought that one day he and he would inevitably face separation, just like migratory birds leaving their habitats After a long journey, no one knows whether they will be able to return as scheduled.
"Okay, let's take it as an autumn outing with you idiot." In the end, the words that came out of her mouth became like this.
On Sunday, autumn was crisp and sunny, Li Li and Pei Shangxuan took a bus to People's Square to change the bus to Nanhui. The traffic was slow, and the section of the road on the Bund was heavily jammed. Pei Shangxuan fell asleep with his pillow on Li Li's shoulder.
Li Li enjoys the rare physical contact with him, the handsome boy is her best friend in fifteen years of life, but it is impossible for him to like her.
The car drove on the cable-stayed Nanpu Bridge, and the decision to develop Pudong brought the land on the other side of the Huangpu River into the focus of the world. The original barren farmland was refurbished into a wide avenue, and the low-rise bungalows became high-rise buildings. The Nanpu Bridge across the Huangpu River was completed and opened to traffic in November last year. Driven to pass quickly.
Li Li woke Pei Shangxuan up and asked him seriously for the first time what his plans were after graduating from junior high school, "Are you going to high school?"
Pei Shangxuan yawned, looking at the misty Huangpu River in the distance through the car window, he smiled knowingly, "Li Li, my grades will definitely not make it into high school."
"I'll tutor you, you, Pei Shangxuan, are not really stupid." Hearing his tone, Li Li was determined to give up further studies, and she felt sad for a while.
Pei Shangxuan stared at her with unusually serious eyes for a while, and then said: "Li Li, I'm not interested in studying for university entrance exams, don't waste your own time helping me." He spoke slowly, with a hint of nostalgia in his tone. Meaning, "In the future you will get used to another person being your deskmate."
Li Li saw the reality, Pei Shangxuan and her are not in the same world.
It's like migratory birds transiting the country, only staying for a short time.
After a half-day car transfer in Nanhui, they finally came to the legendary wetland tidal flat, and got their wish to see a large group of migratory birds flying and landing. Pei Shangxuan looked movedly at the flock of birds soaring in front of him, while Li Li looked at him.
He is a migratory bird, the one she looks forward to seeing again after parting!
