Chapter Two

The News

Summary: She was once the innocent girl, kind and trusting . Yet, after the incident with her classmate, Li Xiao Lang, she changed. And now, seeing him again, she seeks revenge.

In the garden of the Li mansion, one of the richest family in Hong Kong, a boy in a Chinese green suit was practicing his martial arts seriously. It was years ago before the dark alley incident happened. He changed greatly. His smile became very rare, and his words were even more hard to be heard. Others see him as cold and unforgiving, but he was like that only to protect others, or himself, to hurt or be hurt. The dent in his heart had never been filled. Most of all, he never tasted love again, although he did have a lot of choices, judging by his richness and looks.

The boy stopped suddenly as his favorite butler, Wei, walked towards him. "Master Li, it's time for lunch. Your family is waiting for you in the dining room. Please go as soon as possible." Syaoran nodded his head softly. Wei was like his own father, since his own was dead a long time ago. His secret was always the first one to reach Wei. Wei was also the only one who knew about the incident a long time ago. As Wei left, Syaoran also walked into his room to take a short shower.

As he was drying his hair, a photo album happened to fall from the shelf. Syaoran picked it up and saw that it was a picture of the whole class when he was eight. His eyes wandered around and found his first crush standing next to himself. His eyes softened sadly and muttered, "I'm sorry Ying Fa…" He put the album back and ran downstairs, forgetting that he had not totally dried his hair. He just wanted to forget her, forget the incident that happened.

"I'm glad that you decided to join us." A elegant woman in her young forties looked at her son with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Syaoran quickly stopped on his tracks and bowed solemnly at the woman, "I'm sorry mother, I will my best to be on time after this." (A/N: The only thing I'm very mad is that HONG KONG is not like the one Syaoran has at all. Hong Kong ladies do not paint white faces, and are not so old-fashioned and polite. To say the truth, the Hong Kong family Clamp portraits is ridiculous. Sorry, I was just mad cause I'm a HK people.)

They ate their lunch in silence, while Wei and a few other domestic helpers stood next to them. Yelan then broke the horrifying news to Syaoran, "Syaoran, I have something to tell you." Syaoran looked up from his bowl. "I decided that letting you stay in Hong Kong is not a good choice. You're going to have a lot of peer pressure here, as I can see. Much more than your sisters." His four annoying sisters giggled in chorus, "Yeah, little brother has so many admirers!" Sheifa laughed. Yelan gave her look that stopped her. "Therefore, son, I'll send you to Japan to finish your studies until when you're old enough to apply for a good university." Syaoran's eyes widened. He tried to protest, but failed. Besides, arguing with his mother was useless. She was just as strong as a man could be. "Alright, mother." He sighed. "I'm very happy to hear you agree. You'll leave in a month." Syaoran rolled his eyes in annoyance.

As he was doing homework, he thought of the move to Japan. Maybe his mother was right after all. Girls in Hong Kong were always tagging around and being nuisances. By the way, Ying Fa's nationality was Japanese. He'll know more about her culture then.

A month and a day had passed. Syaoran finally stood in the airport in Tokyo, waiting for his cousin, Meiling to be picked and taken to his new home. He felt a kind of easiness knowing that people didn't know who he was and was not observing his every look to see if he had something wrong or funny. He was looking at the Starbucks coffee nearby, when a figure behind came rushing towards him and suddenly bounced on Syaoran, nearly making him loose his balance. "Meiling, how many times have I told you…" His sentence was cut by the ruby eyed girl, whose long hair tied in two buns, looked flushed. "Oh Syaoran, I'm finally seeing you again! You've grown even more handsome. No wonder your female classmates in Hong Kong are so obsessed about you. I have a feeling that even without your family background, you'll be just as popular as you were in Hong Kong!"

Syaoran ruffled his untamed chestnut hair and groaned in frustration. "What?"

After his cousin drove and taken him to his new house in Tomoeda, which a lot smaller than his mansion in Hong Kong but still one of the largest in the place, Meiling took him to the grounds of a school which was called "Tomoeda High School." "Now Syaoran," Meiling informed him. "This will be the new school you are going to study in. It's one of the best schools in Japan, and it's a boy and girls' school.You'll be in Form 4D, and your studies will start next week, which is three days later."

After Meiling left him, and Syaoran was wandering around the places in Tomoeda, he saw a girl walking past him, her bag full of groceries. She bumped accidentally into an unseen lamp post and spilled her items. Syaoran ran forward to help her. As he got closer, he stopped. She looked very very familiar indeed. She had big emerald eyes and shoulder length honey brown hair. She looked almost like…Ying Fa, but it wasn't possible, it would be too much of a coincidence. Then, stepping out of his trance, he continued his way and helped her to pick up her groceries. "Thank you," the girl in a baggy shirt and pants thanked him. She looked dark as she snatched her items from the ground and quickly walked away.

'How rude,' Syaoran walked away, thinking to himself. 'Not even knowing the proper way to thank me. She definitely is not Ying Fa.'
