Scholar Brother, I Have a Seventeen-Year First Kiss to Give You

It's this late, and Han Jingjing is still not asleep? Guess she's a night owl too?

Jiang Yue held his phone, unsure how to reply for a moment.

He was being honest, but it was San Gou who caused all the trouble. He had planned to explain things clearly to Han Jingjing in person after school started regarding the photos she sent that afternoon.

But now that she had sent a message, it wouldn't be appropriate or upright to pretend he hadn't seen it.

"Jiang Yue: Just about to sleep! Had something come up earlier, turned off my phone, so I didn't see the message."

"Han Jingjing: What was it? Can I help? flexes muscles/emoji"

"Jiang Yue: It's nothing, it's all resolved. By the way, Jingjing, it was my cousin who messaged you earlier this afternoon. This kid took advantage of me washing dishes and played with my phone without me noticing."

"Han Jingjing: Huh? Then I'm exposed? shy/emoji"

"Jiang Yue: That kid is very mischievous."

"Han Jingjing: It's okay, who doesn't have a few rascals at home! Did your annoying little brother peek at my photos? smirking/emoji"

He didn't just peek, he actually commented on them quite a bit!

But he couldn't tell Han Jingjing that.

"Jiang Yue: He's only 12, an elementary schooler, doesn't know anything."

"Han Jingjing: Mhmm hmm, then did you see them? shy/emoji"

"Jiang Yue: I did. That video really looks like Tianlang Mountain."

"Han Jingjing: ..."

"Han Jingjing: I have many more exciting ones here, do you want to see? cute/emoji"

"Jiang Yue: ..."

"Han Jingjing: Hehe, don't get the wrong idea, I meant pictures of Tianlang Mountain."

The conversation felt a bit ambiguous, and also a bit awkward.

"Jiang Yue: Right, Jingjing, what did you want when you @ me in the group earlier?"

"Han Jingjing: Nothing, I just wanted to @ you! By the way, top student brother, what's your take on the video thing?"

Jiang Yue hadn't expressed his opinion in the group chat, passing the ball to Du Yifeng and letting him take the spotlight.

Jiang Yue wanted to keep a low profile, but the top student's abilities and charm simply wouldn't allow it.

Like Han Jingjing, who, after failing to get his attention in the group, still pursued the matter.

Dealing with Han Jingjing was different from dealing with Li Yue. Since he hadn't established the familiarity and trust of a deskmate yet, Jiang Yue naturally wouldn't easily state his opinion.

"Jiang Yue: Why don't you speak first?"

"Han Jingjing: Honestly, I don't care at all! This world is boring enough anyway, maybe something interesting happening would make it more fun?"

This answer was very chuunibyo, but it best reflected the thoughts of most young people at the moment.

Without experiencing hardships at a young age, how could they seriously consider the implications of crises and changes?

It's hard to take things seriously when they haven't directly happened to you.

"Jiang Yue: Alright! Perhaps what you expect is what's about to happen?"

"Han Jingjing: Hehe, if tomorrow is the end of the world, I'm definitely making a wish tonight to give away my first kiss at seventeen! lovestruck/emoji"

"Jiang Yue: ..."

"Han Jingjing: Top student brother, you are my number one target for fulfilling this wish!"

Perhaps it was the late hour, but Han Jingjing's demeanor became increasingly bold and unrestrained.

A "top student brother" was already a rare resource, and a handsome one was an endangered species. Moreover, Jiang Yue was the kind of handsome that even God would be jealous of.

Han Jingjing had been itching to make a move, but had been struggling to find an opportunity!

"Jiang Yue: Cough, cough, Jingjing, to be honest, I have bad breath."

"Han Jingjing: Hmph, liar! Top student brother smells good everywhere! Just sitting in the classroom, you exude a fragrance that attracts bees and butterflies. You probably don't know how many girls from other classes sneak glances at you from outside our classroom window every day."

"Jiang Yue: Uh, Jingjing, my phone is about to die. Let's talk next time."

"Han Jingjing: Don't you dare leave!"

"Han Jingjing: Top student brother, you're so mean! You were the one who wanted to see my photos, and then you pushed it onto your annoying little brother."

"Han Jingjing: Top student brother, I'm home alone, so lonely and scared. If you don't keep me company, I... I'll come to your house to find you."

"Han Jingjing: I'm taking off my pajamas now. Changing clothes, hmph! I'm getting ready to leave. Let's see if you really have an annoying little brother at home!"

"Han Jingjing: Top student brother, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as your default! Hehe, you naughty brother, you must be impatient for me to come over, right?"

The phone kept buzzing incessantly. Jiang Yue was speechless and had no choice but to open it.

What?

Come to my house? Has Han Jingjing completely lost it tonight? This late at night, going to a boy's house?

"Jiang Yue: Jingjing, don't do anything rash. It's raining heavily outside right now! Besides, it might not be safe outside."

"Han Jingjing: Hehe, I knew my smarty-pants brother cared about me. Fine, I won't make you come over, but you have to promise to let me treat you to a movie tomorrow."

"Jiang Yue: I really have something on tomorrow."

"Han Jingjing: Then when are you free?"

"Jiang Yue: Let's discuss it after school starts, okay?"

"Han Jingjing: Go back on your word and you're a puppy! Breaking a promise and you're a puppy!"

"Jiang Yue: Got it. Seriously going to sleep now! Goodnight."

"Han Jingjing: Wait a sec."

Ding dong!

"Han Jingjing: [Image]"

Jiang Yue thought it was a goodnight sticker and almost dropped his jaw when he opened it.

What Han Jingjing sent was a private photo scandalous enough to get him reported!

To be precise, it was an artistic profile shot, and the style was particularly bold and avant-garde.

In the photo, Han Jingjing hugged her knees, her head resting gently on them, her thighs pressing against her chest.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be worth a big fuss. The problem was, Han Jingjing wasn't wearing any clothes in the photo.

Yes, she was that brazen, not a single piece of fabric on her.

Although it was a profile view, her private parts were completely hidden, but the profile still showed the shapeless mass of her private parts, deformed by the pressure of her knees.

At seventeen, her figure was in no way inferior to those top-tier actresses in the entertainment industry.

"Han Jingjing: Withdrew a message."

"Han Jingjing: Smarty-pants brother, it's your loss if you didn't save it! Goodnight, muah, sweet dreams! Cute cute / Sticker."

"The end of the world might really be coming, smarty-pants brother, you need to take it seriously. Also, smarty-pants brother, you must become a great demon king and protect me!"

"Han Jingjing: Mhmm, last sentence, I promise it's the last one. If the end of the world really comes, smarty-pants brother, I want to sleep with you before I die! Fight on / Sticker."

This little vixen!

In the dead of night, she was being so flirtatious and bold.

Jiang Yue's perception of Han Jingjing was once again refreshed. Compared to her, Jiang Yue doubted if he was even the same age.

Fortunately, in the entire class, Han Jingjing was the only little vixen like this.

If there were a few more, Jiang Yue worried he wouldn't have the energy to keep up.

He plugged his phone in to charge and picked up a book from his nightstand.

To say Han Jingjing's photo had no effect on Jiang Yue at all would be a lie.

But to say Jiang Yue would lose sleep over it wouldn't be true either.

After all, the experiences of the past two days, especially the midnight chase of the Year Eater, were much more stimulating than this.

After savoring it for a moment, Jiang Yue put down his phone, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

His ability to fall asleep was another of Jiang Yue's specialties.

Of course, this was thanks to his grandfather.

When Jiang Yue was four or five years old, his grandfather had taught him a set of incantations and accompanying techniques that were extremely helpful for falling asleep.

Whether lying down, sitting, or even standing, as long as Jiang Yue willed it, he could fall asleep.

He didn't know how long he slept before his dreamscape suddenly turned pitch black, the sound of rain pattering down again, and a chilling wind howling.

A desperate woman, ragged breaths...

That cold, cold hand touched Jiang Yue's face once more.

Ah!

Jiang Yue woke up with a start again!

The covers were warm, but when he reached up to touch his cheek, it was still that familiar damp, cool sensation.

He sat up in bed, dazed for a while, when his phone alarm went off.

Waking up at six o'clock, whether it was school days or holidays, was Jiang Yue's unshakeable routine.

"No, I absolutely cannot just passively wait like this. If my mother is trying to convey something through my dreams, wouldn't I be delaying the opportunity by just waiting passively?"

He suddenly remembered the Year Eater from yesterday, and its magical Year Eating skill.

Perhaps he could learn about this dream through the Year Eater?

After washing up, Jiang Yue decided to go home first, and then head to the police station to find Officer Han.
