Learning Chinese makes me fall

Life is always full of miracles, you never know what is going on next. For me,  a 22-year-old Nepali guy studying in china, never thought I would have such a romantic experience in my life, however, china makes it, learning chinese makes it.
In the first few days coming to china, I was always full of excitement with new stuff, new faces, and also, I didn’t have too many classes. So I had a lot of time to enjoy myself. However, frustration came up before long, I found myself had no idea to deal with chinese learning. The strcuture of the characters, the pinyin, pronunciation, etc, they are totally different with my language. What could I do? I turned to my senior for help, so he advised me to find a tutor and also promised to find one for me, because he has stayed in china for two years, he has made many chinese friends.
After two days, as arranged, I met my tutor, a Chinese girl in the same university with me. We talked a little that night, I found her kind of shy, but her English was good. So we made the plan for next meeting.
From then on, my tutor began to teach me Chinese. We often met at 9 o’clock at night in the open air, sitting on the rock and studying. She taught me pinyin, pronunciation, Chinese idioms, classical stories, she even taught me a Chinese song--two tigers, when some Chinese festivals come, she would tell me the story of them. I remembered on the middle autumn day, she brought me some mooncakes and told me to make a wish. I asked her: what is your wish? She said: I wish your wish come true. At that minute, I felt my heart touched. A kind of special feeling filled in my chest, I knew, it was called love.
Charlotte is a loving-songs girl, so after our tutor class, I often asked her to sing songs to me, and she enjoyed it. Her voice was so sweet, sometimes I even forgot where I was, my mind was completely taken away by her songs……
Time went fast, we have already spent six months on teaching and learning.
My Chinese was improving bit by bit, so was my love to her, she made me so happy. So one day night, I finally made up my mind to tell her: “I love you, would you love me?” She smiled without saying. I know, that meant “yes”, she was just too shy to speak the word. How happy I was that time.
As what you can predict, just from that moment on, our true romance journey got started.
