A food courier in northeast China who greeted a US nursery teacher he delivered noodles to with the words “I love you” in a lift married the woman five months later.

Recently, the man, surnamed Liu, 27, from Shenyang, Liaoning province, shared his love story on social media.

In a video, Liu introduced his wife as Hannah Harris, a 30-year-old from the US state of Alabama who moved to Shenyang last August to teach English at a kindergarten.

In November last year, Liu first met Harris after she ordered a bowl of noodles on a delivery app.

While he was delivering her food, they ran into each other in the lift.

Liu recalled: “I do not speak much English, so I just said, ‘Hello, I love you’. She laughed when she heard it.”
