'Konnichiwa' – Good afternoon
Sakura cupped her handphone to her ear. She could hear the sharp ringtone that continued to sound in her ear. Come on, pick up the phone, as she scanned the clock. It's three already and in Japan, that means it will be about four to five. You should be back home from college.
Just as she was about to give up, she heard a click from the other side and a melodious sweet voice claimed, "Daidouji Residence."
"Konnichiwa, Tomoyo-chan."
"Konnichiwa, Sakura-chan. It's so good to be able to hear your voice again after not being able to see you for about four days. These four days seem like an eternity to me."
"Tomoyo-chan…" Sakura sweatdropped.
"So why did you decide to call?"
"I need to talk to you about this guy."

Tomoyo could hear the exasperation in Sakura's voice.
"And for no reason, he lifted me up and said he's going to carry me to the clinic. And…"
Tomoyo listened to her, somewhat surprised but glad that Sakura had told her this.
"And he piggyback me up to my apartment. And…"
Tomoyo sighed. I should have applied to go to Hong Kong with her. Then I would be able to capture all these on video. This Li-kun, I must meet him in person one of these days.
"Tomoyo, are you listening?"
"Hai."
"Tell me what should I do? I'm afraid that it will lead to the same consequences as the past."
"Sakura-chan, please tell me. How do you feel towards him?" Tomoyo inquired. He may be the one to unlock the troubles of her heart.

Once Sakura heard a click on the other side, did she then hang up the line.
"Sakura-chan, please tell me. How do you feel towards him?"
"How do I feel towards him?" The words slipped through her lips as she tasted the feeling of that sentence.
She settled down onto her study desk. I think I should concentrate on my studies for the moment. If I don't, I will have a hard time catching up.
She lifted up her pen. Do Mathematics first. She flipped open the tutorial worksheet and stared at the first question.
"Hoe!!! Integration! My poorest topic!"

Syaoran dashed past the same florist shop and the recollections of the previous day filled his mind. He gritted his teeth. I wonder if she is ok. Ahhh! Why am I always thinking about her?
He continued to run. I need to find out whether if she's fine. Stop! Stop thinking of her!
Syaoran stopped in front of the building which housed her apartment. Why am I here? Why did I continuously think of this place?
He turned. I better not disturb her. She should be resting right now. He took a step away from the building when a familiar voice struck a chord in his ears. "Hoe!!!"
Where did I hear that voice before? He searched his mind for that small connection. Yes, of course, that girl with auburn hair and special green eyes. He ran back towards the building. What could have happen to her, the girl that saved me? Her name? Yes… Sakura.
