Yirui is the very definition of beauty. Her unparalled appearance is perhaps not even her strongest trait. She is the most intelligent person you will ever meet, and her persistence will motivate you endlessly. She possesses the most angelic voice and has the sweetest smile. She's cute, fucking hot, and will do anything to please you (sensually). Her amazing humour too, and kinkiness, are all beyond your wildest dreams. To be breathtaking, mesmerizing, ethereally beautiful, is to be a Yirui.

Yirui's are super rare and if you ever find one in your life make sure you hold on tight. They don't catch feelings easily, but if they date you then you are a lucky ass man.
My girlfriend sucks, I wish she were more like Yirui.
Awwwh, his girlfriend is so awesome. She must be a Yirui.
