your arrival in beijing for your studies wasn't easy - getting adjusted to a new culture and such. but the most difficult part was the language. you barely knew chinese, and though it was remotely fine for your international college, day to day life wasn't as easy. so you got a tutor named xiao, who was fairly priced. today would be your first lesson with him, and the sound of him knocking on your apartment door got you out of your reverie.

"i'm here." xiao spoke with a light accent.
