Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife-Chapter 668 - 669: Flirting with Men

Gao Lian raised his eyebrows, "What would happen if you confessed?"

"Once I confessed, everyone would definitely know, and if everyone knew, my roommate might even become famous," Dongfang Xuanya declared confidently, already dreaming of future fame. Picturing this, she held her face in her hands and looked at him with blinking eyes, "How long have you known him?"

"Not very long, just over half a year, less than a year."

"Such a short time," Dongfang Xuanya observed, "Then do you understand her?"

"Well, yes, as friends."

"Mmm~ There are many types of friends," Dongfang Xuanya smiled sweetly, "For example, I’m just a roommate, but we’re quite close. We can be considered friends when speaking to others, and since you’re her friend and I’m her friend, then we are definitely friends as well. But I still don’t know your name, what is it?"

The first step in flirting is to bring the relationship closer, first by bridging the emotional distance. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Once the psychological defenses are down, getting what you want becomes easier.

In this respect, Dongfang Xuanya was quite experienced, and now finding topics to talk about flowed naturally for her.

And Gao Lian, completely unaware of her intentions, faced Dongfang Xuanya’s sincere gaze and said, "Gao Lian."

"Wow, I’ve never met someone with the surname Gao before; how do you write it?" Dongfang Xuanya asked like a curious baby, "Is it the Gao from Gao Village?"

The second step in flirting: show your sense of humor.

Gao from Gao Village?

Gao Lian was hearing such a question for the first time.

For some reason, the image of Zhu Bajie carrying his wife popped into his mind, and after a pause, he responded, "...Yes."

"Wow, and Lian? Is it Lian as in ’honest’?"

"Gao Lian, yes, it’s the Lian from ’honest’ plus three water radicals."

"Oh, three water radicals, is there really such a character?" Dongfang Xuanya seemed to mutter to herself, then said, "Xia Country culture is really profound and extensive, there are so many characters I don’t recognize. I grew up in M Country, so I don’t know many Chinese characters, but my name does have a Xia Country flavor. My surname is Dongfang, named Xuanya."

The third step in flirting: display soft and innocuous vulnerabilities, allowing the other person to continue the conversation easily.

As long as the other person is not boring beyond help, they usually keep the conversation going.

This was Dongfang Xuanya’s first time flirting with a guy from Xia Country since she came here, and just chatting filled her with anticipation.

Her big round eyes twinkled, waiting for Gao Lian’s response.

"Dongfang?" Gao Lian was surprised, "Did you choose that name yourself?"

Many foreigners choose their own names when they come to Xia Country.

And Dongfang was an exceptionally rare surname, which was his first thought upon hearing it.

Seeing that he really engaged in the conversation, Dongfang Xuanya tilted her head slightly, her lips curling into what she knew was her sweetest and most adorable smile, looked at him and said, "No, my dad’s surname is Dongfang, so that’s my surname too. I’m Chinese-American."

Gao Lian nodded, "Then you’re at the same school as Shi Mei? Also studying dance?"

"Yes," Dongfang Xuanya supported her cheeks with her hands, batting her beautiful eyes at him, "Doesn’t it seem like it?"

"No, just asking," Gao Lian turned his head, his gaze moving past the crowd in search of Shi Mei, "I wonder if she’s done with her tasks."
