When I first saw him

It was my habit to be in class late every Saturday and Sunday morning. It was a Chinese course. But one day, with surprise I saw a new laoshi teaching in my class! I bumped my head into the room and asked my classmates "Hey, is this our class?" Since I have a very bad memory to remember my own class, I always get lost and entered other classes. It's not my fault though, it is because the school had changed its location to teach in a Baoli building and the classroom for us is actually a condo room, who can remember? My classmates are young and middle-aged people because Chinese in Cambodia is a popular foreign language so we all study it to get better communication with Chinese people.

" Hey! It is our class; the teacher was just transferred to teach here! Come in" one of my classmates, Brother Sophal said.

" Where is laoshi going to?" I exclaimed and entered the room, not even seeing the teacher's face yet. However, even though I'm late, I never got any punishment for being late, so it is traditional for me to identify as the latest student in the class. I packed out my books and phone as a dictionary onto the table and started talking to my classmate "hahaha I thought I got lost again! I never remember our class numbers because there are many rooms in this building." Busying talking to my friend, I wasn't interested in my new teacher's face. But suddenly when I turned over to the whiteboard, I was speechless.... "OMG that handsome senior I saw in the elevator?" hahaha I was almost stunned, that was a senior that I saw in the elevator when he came to the 22nd floor it is where our Chinese School is located. That day after I saw that handsome man, I have never seen I can't stop smiling all day and told my classmate that "Hey! Do you see that senior? He's electricity! I'm soft now, hahaha" as I was a friendly and funny one in the class, everyone doesn't consider much my words as specific; they thought I was just joking around like before and they either didn't see him because he was too quick to enter the office, (I don't know what is that room for, he must hurry in something).

I sat opposite Lao Shi and his phone and book are on my table that he didn't know was a table of presented students like me. Well, even though I'm nicknamed the Latest Student in class, I am still a student in the Sun Zi School, right? I have a habit that dislike of touching others' belongings and I didn't know it was his phone at all, " Agh, whose is this? Not my phone!" I picked it up in disgust and passed it to another table.

Lao Shi looked at me, but he tried to focus on the lesson then, I didn't know anything! I'm innocent.

But damn! My eyes! They're sinful!

I can't stop staring at him all day, I really can't, hahaha. Lao Shi tried to teach us by the lesson in the Book, and then he introduced himself when the student questioned about the last Lao Shi. As a good student as I am, I don't remember all my previous teachers' names. Sorry!

As he was questioned, he writes down all the previous teachers' names that taught our class, to be honest from the first term we change 3 teachers already. He was so shy at first that he didn't even want us to know his name, and after he writes down his phone number for us to add him on Telegram, we asked him for his name, but he said " Whatever! You can name me whatever you want!". I looked at him with surprise but I don't want anyone in the class knows my feeling; in my mind, I thought ... "I'm gonna name him My Honey, or My Baby, hehe". Nothing! I just chuckled and let everyone speak on my behalf of me. They all protest that saying that there were many teachers teaching before, and they can't just name them Teacher1 Teacher2, or Teacher3. As for that he finally wrote down his name in Chinese, "李 文俊" Li WenJun. I don't know much about Chinese but my classmate won't be silent either, they asked him for the meaning of his name. But what I can remember is the Jun in his name means 'Handsome', Ahhhhh I'm so shy. I can't help but put on my musk and smile alone like crazy, why are you?

But, "Lao Shi, did you just say that we can name you whatever?" I said.

Lao Shi nodded his head in agreement and said, "Whatever you want to call me, it's fine".

"Okay, then I will name you Whatever!" I replied and checked out my phone to see what is whatever said in Chinese? It's 任何 (ren he). I added him in telegram with the name 任何 ren he, which means Whatever. Then I sent him a dog sticker smiling with human teeth; look so like me.

After that class contact was added, everyone had to focus back on the lesson. But no, my eyes! I like to look at him! No matter how hard I tried to avoid but all his body is just...hhh Perfect! Aww, I can't help, can't take my eyes off of you. Oh my gosh, Dear Lord please forgive my sin. He made my boring Chinese lesson into an addictive class,,,,,,, Ren He! Ren He!

After class, I went to buy a 论语 书 like his, he pinned the location and sent it to the group for our class communication, but what made me almost nose bleeding (I have an allergic nose) is that in the group is only him and me yet, hehehe Lao Shi why are you? I riding on my motor but stop by a path of the building. Why can't I stop smiling? No, I can't let anybody know this, I must do something to make it more coincidently as a student and teacher; so I added more members to that group, but in my heart, I can't stop smiling every minute, and even the traffic police stop me and penalty me 25$ as I stopped on the white line, only him is the reason to make me smile again after my pocket is running out of money.

That day, when I came back home I told my mom that my Chinese class is so interesting now, ""Mommy, my Lao Shi is so handsome, I'm going to be a good student now!".

My mom was surprised and she laughed, replied "What? Are you studying hard because of your teacher?"

"No mom, for me! But he is the encouragement to me, he's the bonus that I have to put on my study." I replied with shyness. My mom knew me well and she asked.

"You are no different from your childhood, always like the handsome man!" She laughed.

I felt a little embarrassed but replied back, "Mom, yes! Of course! Even I'm not beautiful but I only like beautiful things, especially a beautiful man like him." I show her his picture and the picture of my Chinese celebrity crush that look exactly similar, "Mom, see? He's the most beautiful creature I have ever seen! I'm going to do whatever to go to China, For my Bros Sart!" I'm so happy then packed my stuff and run to my room.

Yeah, I love beautiful creatures! Yeah! That night I can't sleep without calling his name as 任何 and smiling alone. Ren He Lao Shi, hehehe. It was like the time that I fell in love with the 2nd crush that I only called out his name every time before I went to sleep and the first I woke up. I know the feeling of having crush is so happy and I hope we end up together. I smile and looked at his picture, ""Lao Shi, My handsome Lao Shi! "
