Chapter 50: Maximum Boyfriend Power

"Lin Yu!"
A warning cry echoed behind him. Lin Yu felt the softness of the white rabbit as it collided with his back just a moment ago, and his heart raced uncontrollably. An odd sensation flooded his entire being, one he could not quite describe.
Perhaps… this was what girls called tenderness? Lin Yu mused to himself.
"Forget it, forget it! Your driving skills are truly terrifying! Let me handle it!"
Ji Ya moved to the front, wobbling as she rode, her fear growing ever deeper. As a strong woman, she had thought a mere toy car would be easy to control, nothing she couldn't handle at her whim.
"Boss! Do you see that person up ahead?"
"I see, so what?"
"Step on the gas and run into them!"
"Isn't that a bit much?"
"If you know it's wrong, why aren't you braking?!" Seeing the electric scooter was barely half a meter from the pedestrian ahead, Ji Ya was still busy turning to discuss with him. Lin Yu instinctively reached out, grasped her hand, and twisted the brakes with force!
The screech of the brakes startled the young man in front, and Lin Yu quickly dismounted to apologize. The girl, seeing the handsome young man’s courtesy, waved it off and chose not to pursue the matter.
But from then on, Lin Yu decided he would not let Ji Ya touch the scooter again. If this kept up, he’d be frightened into a heart attack sooner or later.
Honestly, boss… admitting you’re not good at something isn’t a problem. You’re not a man, so why be afraid to say you can’t do it?!
Besides, everyone knows you grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth. Not knowing how to drive is perfectly normal—just say it, no need to be shy.
Ji Ya obediently sat behind him, silent as Lin Yu led the way, her hands wrapped around his waist. It had nearly become a habitual gesture, pressed against his shirt, breathing in the unique scent of a man. Unconsciously, her face grew bright red.
Fortunately, the camera wasn’t focused tightly on them, or the barrage of comments would have burst into outrage—though perhaps a few might be supportive, but those would surely be rare.
In over twenty years, she had never been so close to any man. The sudden proximity brought a strange feeling, leaving Ji Ya completely at a loss.
Her heart thumped faster, her breathing deepened involuntarily, as if she were trying to memorize his scent. These little secrets, Ji Ya was determined not to let anyone discover. In everyone’s eyes, she was a strong woman—how could she fall so easily for someone else? Ji Ya buried the secret deep in her heart, saying nothing.
Suddenly, they stopped. Lin Yu turned to ask where she wanted to go. Just as he turned his face, she looked up, and their lips brushed lightly together. Both were utterly stunned.

Damn… Ji Ya almost cursed aloud. She had rejected so many men’s affections over the years, always maintaining her composure, only to lose her first kiss in such a way?!
The awkwardness practically spilled out of the screen. Moments ago she had been inhaling his masculine scent, and now, the next second, they were kissing. Heaven, you certainly know how to arrange things!
The camera, by some stroke of fate, captured the moment, and the barrage exploded in fury.
"Damn! What the hell, damn it!"
"My goddess is no longer pure!"
"Help! Dog Yu, go die!! Go die!!"
"Damn it! My goddess! What did you do to my goddess!? I’ll kill you!!"
"Man, I was about to buy Dog Yu a gift, now I just want to chop him up!!"
"Anyone local who can do the job?! Hurry up and kill him!"
"You guys are insane, aren’t you? It’s just a kiss! What’s the big deal?! Besides, it didn’t even look intentional, does it really warrant so much rage?!"
The live stream’s barrage was filled with curses. Wasn’t Dog Yu supposed to have been single for twenty years? Was it all just marketing and tricks? Damn! Never trust men from the entertainment industry again—they’re all liars!
Countless men’s hearts shattered in that moment. The Miss Ji they had guarded for over twenty years had lost her most precious thing to someone else! Ahhh! Kill him! Kill him!!
…
Ji Ya pulled away, stepped off the scooter, cheeks flushed, lips pursed, arms crossed in a childish display of anger. The contrast to her usual cool demeanor made her an unforgettable vision in the camera’s frame.
She hadn’t expected Lin Yu to still be watching her, as if there were thousands of words he wanted to say but couldn’t. Ji Ya rolled her eyes in silence.
"What do you want?"
Lin Yu let out a soft laugh, meeting her angry yet brilliant gaze, unable to suppress a chuckle. In truth, he hadn’t minded what had just happened—he was simply charmed by her adorable reaction, and the words of praise slipped out.
"Boss, you’re really cute."
Adorable in her contrast.

Ji Ya’s anger was extinguished by his words, leaving her stunned and unsure how to respond. After a moment’s hesitation, she snapped in a soft, fierce tone,
"You’d better be joking!"
What? The boss didn’t like being complimented?
Could it be that all cool female CEOs were this unfathomable?
Lin Yu had never interacted much with women like her—after all, in his previous life he was a nobody from the lower rungs of society, and he genuinely didn’t know how to strike the right balance.
After a moment’s thought, he ventured, "Could it be… you prefer being scolded, boss?"
Such a peculiar taste!?
Ji Ya, embarrassed and angry, stepped forward and grabbed his ear, baring her teeth as she asked, "Are you asking for trouble?!"
Lin Yu’s expression changed instantly; he raised his hands in surrender, quickly cooperating, making a gesture of pleading for mercy.
He lifted his hand to touch Ji Ya’s cheek, exaggeratedly and sincerely praised, "Boss, you are the most beautiful in the world! The number one strong woman!"
Ji Ya rolled her eyes at him, but her mood was completely restored. The anger in her gaze faded, replaced by a smile at the corner of her lips.
"That’s more like it. If you dare tease your boss again, you’ll be out picking up trash and eating dirt!"
She wasn’t truly angry—it was half a playful warning. The atmosphere between them returned to normal; the little mishap was just that, and neither paid it much mind.
Lin Yu understood perfectly why Ji Ya had overreacted. The camera had caught her in such an awkward moment, so naturally he wanted to ease the tension.
The accidental kiss was minor; almost hitting someone while insisting on driving was the real taboo. She was a strong woman in everyone’s eyes and certainly didn’t want to lose face in front of so many people.
Lin Yu sympathized with her; otherwise, with Ji Ya’s ear-pulling, she might not have even touched him before he’d have whisked her away with a set of Tai Chi moves.
Suddenly, Ji Ya found herself lifted into the air, not realizing what was happening until she later understood Lin Yu had picked her up and carried her onto the scooter.
