On the way home, there is a lighting storm, but no rain. He terrifies Sakura with his glares all day and during recess, he demands Sakura to give him the Clow Cards. A new transfer student arrives from Hong Kong named Syaoran Li and is seated behind Sakura. She hears from both Cerberus and Yukito that it might be a "foretelling dream". Sakura has the same recurring dream she had in episode one, specifically focusing on the boy wielding a sword in Chinese clothing. Syaoran comes across as extremely protective of Meiling's safety, probably because she is without magic. We learn Meiling has no magic of her own. Syaoran shows up later, revealing that Meiling went after the Card without his knowledge. Meiling displays impressive martial artist technique against the Fight Card, demonstrating what skills have been taught to the children of the Li family. Meiling meets Sakura and the others at the park, revealing that she knows all about the Clow Cards and intends to participate in the captures. Sakura, however, isn't interested in competing at all. It begins a long trend of Meiling forever trying to one-up Sakura at a number of things, though she rarely succeeds. Meiling is just as competitive as Syaoran, and indirectly challenges Sakura to a gymnastics competition. It's only after he makes it clear he won't return home without the Cards that Meiling decides she will get involved and 'help', so that he can collect them faster. She reminds him that a fortune-teller in Hong Kong predicted someone else would get them, a reminder that clearly grates on his nerves. He explains that he's not going back until he gets the Clow Cards, but she doesn't particularly care about that. Syaoran asks Meiling why she came, and she answers that she was lonely for him.
Meiling is quick to add that she is actually his fiancee, and obviously believes Sakura wants to take Syaoran away from her. Terada explains that she is from Hong Kong and cousin to Syaoran. When Meiling enters the room, it's clear that her presence has exhausted him and he is desperate to escape it. When Syaoran enters the room, he's markedly pale and haggard compared to his usual tough-and-healthy look.
