While studying in Beijing, China, Yoh leaves her wallet in a taxi. He is depressed that he will not get it back, but the next thing he knows, a Japanese man in the taxi has delivered it to him. A delighted Yoh goes out to meet the person to thank him. The person was a woman called Tomomi, also a student studying abroad. Despite meeting each other for the first time, their conversation is lively and Yoh immediately falls in love with her. When Tomomi told him she wanted to see him again, he gave her his pager number. The next day, Yoh sends a message to her pager.
