Beijing with You: A Mandarin Chinese Graded Reader for New HSK 1 (Simplified)
Learn Mandarin through an easy-to-read love story set in Beijing!
Lisa had a plan: move abroad, ace her Chinese classes, and embrace a new adventure in one of the world’s most vibrant cities. Romance? Not exactly on the agenda. But that all changes when she’s greeted at the airport by a young local who helps her navigate the city’s twists and turns. He’s charming, helpful… and completely off-limits!
A chance encounter at a language exchange rekindles their connection, sparking chemistry that neither can ignore. But when Lisa suspects he has a girlfriend, things get awkward, fast. Cue a string of blush-worthy misunderstandings, mixed signals, and moments that make her wonder: is she falling for a guy who’s already taken?
