Chapter 12: How to Flirt Properly
Chapter 12: How to Flirt Properly
Since Hulu City has no airport, Gao Yun first had to take a taxi eighty kilometers to Jin City in Lin City, then catch an 8 a.m. flight from there to Hang City.
Unable to get a taxi at three in the morning? Money opens all doors.
One fare isn’t enough? Double it! Double still not enough? Triple it!
Sitting in the taxi en route to Lin City, Gao Yun even considered chartering a private plane for a direct flight, but at this hour that was impossible. By the time a charter became available, the regular flight would have already taken off.
“Looks like buying a plane is something I need to put on the agenda soon,” he thought, feeling a bit proud.
“What are you thinking about?”
The video call was still on. The foreign beauty on the screen caught the taxi driver’s attention, who kept stealing glances.
“I’m thinking you’re probably about to fall asleep.”
Daria replied, troubled, “I can’t sleep. I’m thinking about how soon I’ll see you. I just can’t.”
“I want to watch you. Watch you cross fifteen hundred kilometers to come see me.”
Moved, Daria said, “That’s so romantic. I never thought you’d come. Really, I even thought you wouldn’t reply, that you’d forget me.”
Gao Yun said seriously, “I won’t forget you. I follow every update you post. I keep every photo we took together. I remember holding hands by the sea, shouting on mountaintops, cooking together, getting drunk together. I even remember every Russian word you taught me.”
Inwardly, Gao Yun added, “It’s the same with all my exes — every relationship I’ve ever had, I took seriously and deeply.”
Daria burst out a Russian curse, laughing excitedly, “I know, [when I look into your eyes, I can see how much you love me].”
Curious, the driver whispered, “What does that mean?”
“When I look into your eyes, I can see how much you love me.”
Impressed, the driver nodded. Gao Yun continued, “Daria, for the next stretch, I will cross half of China’s mountains and rivers.”
“Along the way, I will meet all kinds of travelers — drivers, workers, farmers, flight attendants, white-collar workers, wealthy merchants...”
“During my breaks, I might talk with them. If they ask, I’ll tell each one that I’m here for you, Comrade Angel.”
“They’ll surely send their blessings, wishing us a smooth reunion and that our revolutionary fire never dies.”
“But now,” Gao Yun’s face turned serious, “to prepare for the upcoming battle, you should sleep. I need to rest a bit too, to keep up with the urgent march ahead.”
Flirting is crucial in relationships!
Without flirting, it’s unlikely for a man and woman to enter a romantic relationship. Even after they enter one, if flirting ceases, the relationship rarely lasts.
So flirting is vital both before and during love.
If a man knows how to flirt, his girlfriend will always feel like she is falling in love, and that state of being in love is what every girl dreams of.
Flirting involves both words and body language, each divided into pre-love and in-love phases, with different methods and intensity.
Right now, Gao Yun was clearly engaging in “in-love verbal flirting.”
In love, a little praise, some romantic words, a serious expression, and an emotional tone — even if the content is exaggerated and the girl knows you’re lying or teasing, she loves to hear it and feels happy.
But be careful not to overdo it.
Flirting with endless compliments every day, speaking in ceaseless romantic phrases—this ruins everything. Even the most insecure girl becomes arrogant, and the worst girl starts thinking you don’t deserve her. That’s human nature, plain and simple.
“...”
Obviously, Gao Yun did not disappoint in demonstrating his “professional-level” relationship skills. After his long speech, Daria couldn’t resist—her deeply affectionate eyes welled with tears, her expression was a mix of crying and smiling, and she covered her mouth, speechless.
Seeing her emotions peak, Gao Yun softened his tone and gave a few reasons to end the call—staying up late would harm her skin, his phone battery was running low, and so on.
Finally, Daria nodded reluctantly. “Contact me as soon as you land.”
“Of course.”
Gao Yun ended the video call, thinking he had successfully soothed her. Otherwise, keeping the video on all night would have been bad for their health, but worse still would have been to dampen their anticipation of meeting.
Only by keeping each other unseen and allowing emotions to build gradually can the moment of reunion explode with true brilliance!
“Sigh, love isn’t easy,” Gao Yun sighed inwardly, closing his eyes and rubbing his temples.
The taxi driver finally couldn’t hold back and opened the conversation.
“Brother, impressive—Russian girlfriend?”
“Ex-girlfriend.”
“Trying to get back together?” The driver shook his head in disbelief, puzzled how such a beautiful girlfriend could break up.
That question struck a chord with Gao Yun. He was a little uncertain about reconciliation himself.
The reasons they broke up were twofold: first, differing ideals; Daria wanted a better life, to develop in a bigger city and see more of the world. Gao Yun, on the other hand, considered his parents and believed in “not traveling far; if you must, you must have a purpose.”
Second, Daria was Russian, with vastly different living habits and, as a model, nurtured a lavish spending mindset. Gao Yun couldn’t agree with that—though he never said so—but he believed over time, neither he nor his wallet could bear it.
Still, Daria had many admirable qualities, as the system’s description showed.
[Fourth Ex: Daria]

“...”
“What’s wrong with getting back together? Why no reward?!”
“Damn system, are you telling me to be a scumbag?!”
Suddenly, Gao Yun felt dizzy, a faint headache like a right hook slamming into his temple.
