Yu-Gi-Oh!: Holding Ruri Kurosaki, I'm invincible!

When asked by Liuli, Youming casually replied, "Oh, I know him."

Just kidding, don't get too close.

Throughout ARCV, Kurosaki Shun is known as the most tragic yet most charismatic character.

The most impressive thing about him is that he took on three people who were on par with the main characters right from the start.

In later parts of the story, he also served as the main damage dealer.

Although Hayabusa has been getting injured in various ways since the Xyz Dimension.

The worst case scenario is that he was a sister-obsessed brother who lost both his sister and his best friend. Who could be more miserable than him?

But he can't just say, "I'm a time traveler, so I know," right?

So he made up a reason: "He is very capable, and I admire him very much."

Since praising someone doesn't cost money and can make them happy, why not?

Ruri Kurosaki's eyes lit up instantly, and a proud smile appeared on her face.

Her tone was brimming with undisguised pride: "Yes, that's right! My brother is ranked 50th on the Fighting King Ranking! Isn't he amazing?"

"Fifty?" You Ming was taken aback.

He remembered that after he won first place in Xinyuan, the rankings on the Fighting King List were also updated.

I was ranked 50th.

In other words, according to the rules I told him before, the rankings on the Fighting King List are updated in real time.

The stronger one will take the place of the former. So, does that mean Kurosaki Hayato was pushed out by him?

Looking at the innocent smile on Kurosaki Ruri's face, he secretly felt fortunate:

Luckily, I didn't let it slip.

In front of someone's own sister, he said that her brother had been pushed off the Fighting King Ranking by him.

That's incredibly unfair; it'll probably spark a duel right there on the spot.

You Ming subtly changed the subject, picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table next to him, and handed it to Kurosaki Ruri:

"Sigh, I just ate steak, I must be thirsty. Have a glass of water to rinse your mouth."

Ruri Kurosaki nodded obediently and took the water glass with both hands.

A hint of confusion flashed in his lowered eyes.

According to family rules, she cannot accept food or drinks from men other than her brother.

This is a concept that is instilled in us from a young age.

But when You Ming handed her the steak, she took it almost without hesitation.

Now, faced with this bottle of mineral water, she once again reached out her hand involuntarily.

Holding the cold mineral water bottle, she was filled with confusion: Why did this behavior, which was beyond her control, occur?

Could it be that my willpower has weakened?

While You Ming turned to get the dessert, Kurosaki Ruri quietly took out her phone from her pocket:

"Why does my heart race and I exhibit unusual behavior when I'm around someone of the opposite sex?"

She seemed to have overheard the girls in her class discussing it privately, and this reaction seemed to be...

How do you show you like someone?

However, the concept of "liking" was not taught to her from childhood. Her family only told her that her future partner must be a duelist of equal social standing and strength, and that everything must be done for the benefit of the family.

A future partner must be a duelist of equal social standing and strength, and everything must be for the benefit of the family.

Lines of text appeared on the phone screen, but the answer it provided stunned her:

"This condition may be caused by symptoms such as brain nerve damage or myocarditis. If you notice any of these symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately."

Ruri Kurosaki frowned slightly as she looked at the text on her phone, thinking to herself:

So it wasn't what they meant by "liking" after all.

It seems there's something wrong with my health. I must have my private doctor come to my house for a thorough check-up after the banquet.

She put away her phone, her face returning to its usual calm.

It was as if the little incident had never happened.

Yu Ming returned carrying a plate of exquisite desserts and saw that Kurosaki Ruri had already finished her mineral water.

He then took a glass of bubbly, dark red liquid from the nearby drinks area and handed it to her: "Try this, it tastes good."

Without thinking much, Kurosaki Ruri took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Her long, fair neck was fully exposed under the light, and her swallowing movements were elegant and smooth.

After finishing the drink, her brows furrowed slightly, and an unnatural blush appeared on her cheeks.

He involuntarily let out a soft "hmm" sound.

The liquid had a slightly spicy taste and a faint sweetness, a flavor she had never tasted before.

It stimulated her taste buds, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Although she tried her best to maintain her usual aloof image, this sudden reaction, coupled with her expressionless face, gave her a rather adorable look.

Combined with her expressionless face, she has a rather adorable and innocent look.

Seeing her like this, You Ming's lips curled into a playful smile, deliberately teasing her:

Why didn't you ask me what it was before you drank it?

Ruri Kurosaki raised her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes, and said softly, "You made me drink it."

In her mind, You Ming would never harm her.

Therefore, what he drank must have been safe.

The smile on You Ming's face vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of guilt that made him want to slap himself in the middle of the night.

He looked at the overly naive girl in front of him, and his tone became serious:

"Remember this, from now on, no matter who gives you something to drink, no matter who they are."

You have to determine first whether it's safe to drink it, understand?

His tone was like that of a nagging older brother, filled with deep concern:

"If you are unsure whether something is safe, do not drink it or eat any unfamiliar food offered by others, understand?"

Human nature is treacherous; you can't trust others so easily.

Why does it sound so much like a mother telling her daughter not to be kidnapped by strangers?

Ruri Kurosaki listened attentively, nodded, and said softly, "Okay, I'll remember that, thank you."

She could sense that You Ming's concern was genuine.

This feeling of being cared for and reminded warmed her heart, like the winter sun.

The grand welcome party lasted until late at night.

The car sent by Ruri Kurosaki's family was already parked in front of the hotel, and the driver respectfully opened the car door.

Sitting in the passenger seat was an elderly man dressed in blue, none other than Liu Bo, the steward of the Hei Xiao family.

You Ming walked to the car and stared at Uncle Liu in the passenger seat with a half-smile.

His eyes were icy, and his tone carried an undeniable warning: "Uncle Liu, I don't care what your Black Xiao family's rules are, Liuli is my friend."

When you get back, take good care of her. Don't let me hear her complain to me even once, or you won't be able to handle the consequences.

Uncle Liu trembled with fright and quickly turned his head away.

Nodding repeatedly, not daring to look You Ming in the eye, she said, "Yes, Mr. You, please rest assured, how could I dare to be disrespectful to Miss?"

"When I get back, I will take good care of Miss and never let her suffer the slightest grievance."

His voice trembled noticeably, and he was filled with fear.

In just half a month, his way of addressing You Ming changed from "little beast" at the beginning.

From "Student You" to the now extremely respectful "Mr. You".

The resentment and contempt in his heart had long been replaced by deep fear, and he dared not show it at all.
