Anyway, it's alright. So, here's the next chapter...

That same night in Madam's Chen little cottage…

"Let me help you." Sakura said as she walked right into the room. Xiao Lang was trying to undo his bandage and change a clean one for his wounds but had a hard time. When he heard Sakura, he looked up and glared at her. Sakura dared not to move a step nearer to him.

"Look Li… I'll take your advice, alright? I won't think of it anymore. I just want to say that if you think my presence here in Hong Kong is annoying you, then I'll get a ticket immediately and go back to Japan until Yelan-san finished the wedding thing. And if you want me to stay then, I will stay and if you don't then, I'll go. I guess I'm sorry." Sakura said as she turned and walked out but stopped when she heard Xiao Lang.

"Whatever… And where are you going now? I thought you said that you want to help me with this earlier." Xiao Lang stated as he threw the bandage to the floor. He was frustrated in aiding himself as it was hard to do so. That late afternoon, Madam Chen was the one who helped him in aiding his wounds.

"I'm not going anywhere." Sakura smiled as she walked to pick up the bandage. Putting the bandage on the bed, she took a shirt from the chair where Madam Chen has given Xiao Lang earlier. Xiao Lang has already undone the buttons on his shirt and the only matter was he hasn't pulled it off. Sakura helped him to pull his shirt, exposing those years of well-trained toned muscles that seemed so indescribable and incredible. His stomach appeared flat, his chest and his shoulders are strong and broad not to forget, it looked powerful and perfect and no wonder, he's one of the most wanted bachelor list in Hong Kong.

"Felicia-san is so lucky to have you…" Sakura murmured silently, pretty sure that Xiao Lang didn't hear her or not.

"Hey, are you here or still in your own dreamland? Cause if you're here then, you better hurry up if you want to nurse me." Sakura nodded as she motioned him to sit still so that she could have a better look at his wounds from his back and his abdomen.

"It'll hurt a little. Li so I hope you can bear with it." She said as she dipped a cotton wool with iodine before leaning forward, pressing it onto his wounds.

"Whatever." He replied before he started feeling the pain of his skin against the liquid. She continued to dab the cotton on his wounds. A while later, she was done and took a tube of gel out from the first-aid kit but Xiao Lang immediately stopped her.

"You're not going to put that, are you?"

Sakura looked up to face him while she opened the cap of the tube.

"Why? The Almighty arrogant Li is scared of a tube of gel?" Sakura teased. Xiao Lang sweat dropped and glared at her.

"No."

"Yar, yar. I believe that." Sakura replied sarcastically as Xiao Lang raised his eyebrow as she pressed the gel out of the tube. Xiao Lang groaned softly just as he felt Sakura's fingers softly and lightly rubbing against his back, gently massaging his back. He felt her touch making its way to his abs where the muscles hurt the most because of that wild boar pounced on him. He was feeling much more relieve actually, compared to this afternoon when Madam Chen did the same for him. Madam Chen was rough and Xiao Lang presumed that she doesn't know how to nurse a person but Sakura was just the total opposite of her. And the most surprising thing is that Felicia has never made him feel as relieve and comfortable as Sakura is making him now when Felicia helped Xiao Lang to nurse his injuries from martial arts practices.

Looking down at Sakura, he has already see the red lining on her face as she silently rubbed his abs. Xiao Lang smirked a little as he then took Sakura's hand. Instantly Sakura looked up and faced Xiao Lang.

"I assumed that you want me to stop now?" Sakura asked as she intensely looked into Xiao Lang's glassy amber eyes and released her hand out of Xiao Lang's grip.

"I assumed that you are having a good time with my abs?" Sakura blushed even more. Of course she was blushing even more as the truth is that she was really thinking something about his abs, as it's getting lesser and lesser everyday to have a young and quite a charm one with such fine abs. Xiao Lang smirked when he gets no answer from Sakura. He now had realized that he prefer Sakura more when she blush and totally silent off rather than having her talking all the time.

"Seriously, I prefer you more like this than having you to talk all the time. To tell you the truth, I wanted to leave you behind when we were lost today. And hey, good news. You may continue whatever you are doing a few second ago." Sakura was totally stunned the second Xiao Lang finishes his sentence.

"I mean, d-do you w-want it?"

Xiao Lang said nothing but grabbed Sakura's hand and pressed a lot of gel out from the tube onto her hand before putting her hand back on his abs. More streaks of red lining were formed on her face as she couldn't believe what Xiao Lang did. Soon when Sakura has finish, she helped to put on the bandage on Xiao Lang. That night, both of them didn't go back to the chalet as they stayed at Madam Chen's cottage and that night itself, Sakura thought a lot on yesterday and today's event.

"Li… Li… what's going wrong with you and me? Are we cats and dogs from our previous life cause I think we are…" she silently muttered. She was rolling on the bed in the first guestroom while Xiao Lang is at the second one. She couldn't sleep as she got up and walked to the veranda. It was chilling that night itself as she sat on the bench.

xox

Meanwhile in Tokyo…

"Dad… I have decided to go to Hong Kong." Touya said to his dad in the living room. Fujitaka looked up from his laptop.

"Why would you do so, son?"

"Nothing… I just want to check things out. No matter what's your decision, I'm going there in a week time." Fujitaka wasn't sure if he heard his son.

Was he going there to check on his sister?...

…Or to ruin things?...

xox

Meanwhile in Li's residence…

"Aunt, you're not telling me that you changed your mind?"

"I'm afraid so, Meilin. I know I was wrong from the beginning so, I'm just getting things better." Meilin couldn't believe her aunt's sudden decision and how did she know and do it?

"Aunt, you're not going to-?" Meilin was interrupted when two figures walked in.

Great! They're here…

xox

Soon not long or around 2.00a.m…

Sakura heard some noise as she got up and quietly walked into the living room but was blocked by Xiao Lang, whom she will never thought he could be there right now.

"What are you doing here, Li? Aren't you sleeping in there?" Sakura asked, worrying if she accidentally woke Xiao Lang up.

"Couldn't sleep."

"Did you hear some noises?"

"What noises?" he asked, wondering away.

"I don't know. That's why I'm asking you. I think it's coming from the kitchen. Let's go check it out." Sakura replied. Xiao Lang groaned, couldn't believe that he agree as he being pulled by Sakura to the kitchen.

"Li, look!" Sakura pointed to the black figure that's walking around the kitchen. That figure was banging here and there and Xiao Lang sweat dropped, wondering if that figure is actually a thief or something. Nope, definitely not anymore. It was Madam Chen when Xiao Lang told Sakura who that figure was after Sakura was quietly guessing if that's a thief or Eriol?

"Come on Kinomoto, she's like you. The same kind. Both of you have some problems with sleep. She sleepwalks as you sleep talks. See? NO difference at all." Xiao Lang said as he walked away, making Sakura sighed, leaving her to help getting back Madam Chen onto the bed. After guiding without using her voice, Sakura walked back to the veranda and surprised to see Xiao Lang there.

"Has she gone back to her bed?" Sakura nodded as she sat next to Xiao Lang. There was a silence between them for a little while as Xiao Lang then spoke.

"So, which cousin of mine is going to have you as a wife?" Sakura shrugged as Xiao Lang raised his eyebrow at her.

"You mean, you don't know?"

"Yelan-san never told me. Neither Meilin did." Xiao Lang was surprised. Was he going to laugh at her or tell her how stupid she is for not knowing who her husband is?

"Aren't you going to ask them? You should know." After the last question, he did nothing more as he got up and walked back into his room. Sakura did nothing but sat there a little while, thinking what Xiao Lang has said. He was right, she should know. Soon, she slept there without knowing it.

A/N: How is it? Do you want to know who those twos are? And why Touya wants to go to Hong Kong? And why would Madam Chen sleepwalks? Well, if you want to know then... I want at least 3 reviews for the next chapter, alright? If there're more, its better... like they said... the more the merrier. I swear that next chapter will be interesting as DING, princess-confused, MisunderstO-od-child, MAMA, oztan, mina hang will get their wish!
