I Don’t Want to Be Turned into a Girl by Magic

Zheng Qian rarely stayed at the school office. After all, the academic advisor job was more like a part-time position or internship for him, and he was still just a second-year graduate student.

The advisor's work was tedious. He had to handle nearly everything related to students, from their mental health down to their daily meals and living arrangements. What he originally planned as just a part-time advisor position had turned out to make his graduate student status seem more like an afterthought.

"It's already finals week and students are still asking for leave. Aren't they afraid they won't get their graduation certificates?"

Early in the morning, the school leadership had gathered all the advisors for a meeting. Zheng Qian walked out of his dormitory feeling dead inside, when suddenly his phone vibrated. Looking down, he saw a message from a student.

"Want to live off-campus?" He was stunned. At the beginning of the school year in September, quite a few students had made this request, but he had rejected them all. He hadn't expected someone to ask about this even now.

He looked carefully at the contact name and found it was from a student named Lin Nan.

Very familiar... After thinking for a moment, he remembered that face that was as beautiful as any girl's.

He had met Lin Nan during the physical examination last month, but since he was usually so busy and generally made announcements through the class group chat, the students he met with most were the male and female class monitors. He had gradually forgotten about Lin Nan's existence.

"No way." He casually replied.

"Are you free? I need to talk about something." Soon, another message came back.

Could it be that he wants to seduce me?

Zheng Qian rubbed his clean-shaven chin. Although he knew this kind of adult video plot was unlikely, he still reluctantly replied:

"Come find me at the office." So he sent another message.

He was planning to go to the office to handle some student files anyway.

Yawning, even though he was already a so-called advisor, he still couldn't break his lazy habits. Back in his undergraduate days, he had always skipped classes, and even now he was constantly thinking about how to skip work.

Walking toward the office, he had just reached the teaching building when he immediately spotted Lin Nan already waiting.

"Didn't I tell you to come to the office?"

"I was already at the office when I sent you that message."

Zheng Qian noticed that Lin Nan's mood seemed off. From his previous interactions with Lin Nan, he knew this student had an introverted personality and was easily embarrassed, but today Lin Nan was expressionless, seemingly radiating a sense of hopelessness.

…

…

Lin Nan's bad mood was practically written on her face with the words "unhappy. Almost anyone could see it.

She wanted to directly hand Lina's forged medical records to Zheng Qian, but she was also worried about facing discrimination and differential treatment. She had only spoken a few words with Zheng Qian as her advisor, so she couldn't gauge his psychology at all.

"I want to live off-campus." So Lin Nan said directly once again.

She actually had a pretty good impression of Zheng Qian, mainly because of his name.

"The school has rules. Unless it's for senior year internships or your family lives nearby, it's not allowed." After seeing Lin Nan, Zheng Qian only paused his steps slightly, then continued walking toward the office while saying, "What if something happens to you off-campus? Can the school and I take responsibility for that?"

"Nothing will happen to me." Lin Nan followed closely behind Zheng Qian, trying desperately to persuade the advisor to change his mind. "How about I sign a liability waiver? I'll just live off-campus, near the back gate of the school. My friend also rents there, I'll share with her."

"No way." Zheng Qian glanced back at Lin Nan. Although he thought this boy's anxious appearance was cute, he didn't want to break school rules. He kept a straight face, looking completely impartial. "It wouldn't matter if you gave me bribes. It's class time now, hurry back to class."

Lin Nan was restless and anxious. After completely transforming into a girl today, and hearing that she was becoming increasingly feminine, she was even more afraid to live in the dormitory.

In her desperation, she could only ask: "Look at my appearance. What if I live in the dorms and someone forces themselves on me? Wouldn't you still be held responsible then?"

Zheng Qian suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked down carefully at this student who was more beautiful than most girls.

Although the probability of what Lin Nan described was small, it wasn't impossible. "Then why don't you just cut your hair? Don't dress up like this."

"What's wrong with how I dress! These are just men's clothes! My hair is already messy like a bird's nest! What can I do if my face and body are too feminine!"

Lin Nan looked completely helpless. If it weren't absolutely necessary, she really didn't want to use charm magic.

The two had already walked into the teaching building during their conversation. Since it was class time, there were no students visible in the building, only a janitor in the distance cleaning trash cans.

Her courage increased considerably. She suddenly sped up and blocked Zheng Qian's path.

"What are you doing? I already said no, hurry up and go to class." Zheng Qian stopped and looked at Lin Nan's beautiful face, stuffing his hands in his pockets. "I didn't agree even when people brought me gifts before, so how could I possibly agree when you come empty-handed?"

"You mean...?"

"I mean gifts won't work either!" Although Zheng Qian did quite like gifts (basically everyone does), he still tried to maintain a serious expression.

Fine.

Lin Nan realized this advisor was truly stubborn.

She had originally wanted to act cute and charming, but this advisor didn't look like the type who would be receptive to a pretty boy... at least in his eyes, she was a boy.

"Advisor Zheng, look into my eyes."

"?" Zheng Qian was about to scold her, but instinctively looked into Lin Nan's eyes that were like a starry sky. He immediately felt his mind go blank, his eyes becoming unfocused.

Magic: Charm.

Lin Nan had no patience to drag things out with the advisor, so she directly activated her magic.

The charm magic was originally prepared for her mother, intended to make her mother allow her to postpone or simply not undergo surgery. But when she used it on her mother, it only made her fall into a deep sleep.

This was her first time using it on a male.

According to Lilith's memories, normally a male under charm magic would fall hopelessly in love with her for half an hour and agree to various requests.

Since Zheng Qian was someone who could become an advisor, he was probably at least an upstanding Party member with correct ideology and good values. It was unlikely he would decide that "three years would be profitable" within this half hour, right?

She felt a bit guilty and was somewhat timidly preparing to run away, while nervously watching Zheng Qian's reaction.

After a moment, Zheng Qian's unfocused, bewildered eyes finally returned to normal. Looking at his student again, somehow the more he looked, the more beautiful she seemed, the more he liked her, even liking her beyond the barrier of gender, making him unable to extricate himself...

No, this is a male, a male.

He let out a heavy grunt: "No matter what, you absolutely cannot live off-campus!"

Lin Nan was dumbfounded.

Did the magic not work? But when Lilith used this magic on males, they all acted like complete simps without any problems!

"How about... you come live with me instead? Graduate student dorms are single rooms."

"????"

So this is what kind of person you are, Advisor?!
