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

Lin Nan was very confused. She didn't understand why Cola would jump off the building to commit suicide. There was absolutely no reason for it.

Looking at how it rushed out and jumped, it didn't seem like an accidental fall either. After all, when it was in the air, it made no attempt to adjust its posture and just fell straight down.

Fortunately it was Lina who happened to be passing by. Anyone else might not have been able to catch it safely.

Could cats also suffer from depression?

Lin Nan couldn't understand cat psychology, but worried that Cola might try to harm itself again, so she simply closed the back door to prevent the cat from accidentally jumping again.

Time to study.

Tu Junhui and Xiong Da were still not awake, so the dorm was unusually quiet. Lin Nan quickly began reviewing for finals. Magic was indeed convenient to use, but the headache side effects were quite unpleasant.

Cola crouched on the desk, staring seriously at Lin Nan who was using magic. Who knew what that little brain was thinking.

After ten minutes, Lin Nan felt her head splitting with pain again and had to stop the magic.

She slumped onto the desk in despair, reaching out to try to pet Cola's head, but it dodged and even slapped her hand away.

"Get lost!"

This meow carried anger, and Lin Nan actually found herself understanding the meaning in Cola's cry.

Unable to continue studying with magic for now, Lin Nan once again fell into obsessing over money.

The maid café by the back gate had returned to normal after a month and now had enough permanent staff to handle the curious students. They'd long stopped hiring part-timers.

Otherwise Lin Nan might have considered working as a maid.

Student Street didn't seem to have any good part-time jobs either. If there were, she would have stopped distributing flyers long ago.

Apparently being a female streamer was also quite profitable. Doing shadow clone dances, chatting with viewers normally, playing games. But Lin Nan absolutely didn't want to show her face, and besides, such platforms couldn't possibly pay daily wages.

It seemed like...

Sudden noise came from the hallway. Lin Nan looked back in surprise and saw the dorm door being opened.

Walking in was Advisor Zheng Qian.

Lin Nan's face quickly turned bright red. Seeing Zheng Qian reminded her of the outrageous things she'd done before to get permission to live off-campus.

"Get up, get up! Look what a mess your dorm is!" Zheng Qian scowled, knocking on the bed frame, then glanced at Lin Nan. Without saying anything special to her, he walked directly into the room to inspect the hygiene.

Looking outside the door, there were several students gathering to watch the excitement.

Wait, why is the advisor coming to inspect hygiene for no reason!

Chen Yao also looked back at Zheng Qian in confusion, then quickly got up and walked forward with an awkward smile to explain: "Advisor Zheng, isn't it the weekend?"

"So what if it's the weekend? You still need to maintain hygiene on weekends! Don't tell me you only clean when there's an inspection on Tuesday?" Zheng Qian gave Chen Yao no face, launching into a tirade. "It's almost finals and your whole dorm is still sleeping! Look at you still playing Monster Hunter! Let me play a couple rounds later..."

Chen Yao had a good relationship with Zheng Qian, having helped with many things, but precisely because of this he got scolded even worse and couldn't even lift his head.

Lin Nan cowered to the side, trembling with fear of being caught in the crossfire. This advisor was terrifying.

"Hurry up and clean!"

Chen Yao quickly grabbed a broom and started cleaning.

After scolding Chen Yao, Zheng Qian walked a few more steps forward to Lin Nan's area, glancing at the clean floor, then looking at Lin Nan's desk.

He approached, and his previously stern face suddenly relaxed. He looked back at Chen Yao who was cleaning in the distance and Tu Junhui and Xiong Da who were still sleeping, then asked in a low voice: "Are you free this afternoon?"

"Huh?"

"I know a pretty good restaurant."

"What?"

Lin Nan was confused. She'd been prepared to get scolded, but this was the result?

"It's on Student Street. After your part-time work, come eat with me."

"..."

Who the hell sold out my information!

Lin Nan stared blankly at this advisor. Honestly, Zheng Qian was indeed handsome, the type who'd play positive roles in TV dramas. She really couldn't imagine this guy was actually hitting on her.

"It's settled then."

Only then did she react, shaking her head frantically.

This must be the aftereffects of the charm magic!

Zheng Qian saw Lin Nan's resistant expression and couldn't feel any of the enthusiasm from that day. He could only sigh in despair: "I was planning to treat you to a seafood buffet, over 200 yuan. I already booked it online."

Lin Nan's eyes lit up, but she continued shaking her head: "Advisor, I'm male."

Seeing the stakes seemed too low, Zheng Qian pondered for a moment, then shook his head saying: "I have a senior friend who rented a place behind the school and paid for half a year upfront. But this month he's changing jobs, and doesn't know what to do with that house..."

"!!!" Lin Nan immediately became interested.

"That house still has over two months left. It would be troublesome to sublet, but wasteful to leave empty... What do you think should be done?" Zheng Qian looked troubled, shaking his head as he prepared to leave the dorm. But after taking two steps, he suddenly noticed a small hand tugging at his sleeve.

When he turned to look, Lin Nan's expression was exactly like a kitten trying to please its owner by acting cute, with a shy blush on his face. He looked countless times more adorable than any girl.

Oh my! I really do like cute boys! Is this the real-life 2D version? Love it, love it!

But why did the cat on the desk look so disgusted, as if it was despising Lin Nan for being embarrassing?

"So it's decided? You go to your part-time job this afternoon, and I'll come find you in the evening?"

Lin Nan nodded repeatedly.

Only then was Zheng Qian satisfied as he left, unable to control his smile.

Chen Yao, still cleaning, looked up in confusion at Lin Nan whose face was inexplicably red, then at the advisor whose steps had become noticeably lighter.

Somehow he felt like... he was being cuckolded.

He suddenly felt like there was green grass everywhere above his head, but thinking carefully, Lin Nan was his close friend, how could that count as being cuckolded?

He closed the dorm door and walked to Lin Nan's side, who was obviously much more relaxed, asking with some confusion: "What did Advisor Zheng just say to you?"

"He said he could help me solve the housing problem!" Lin Nan was overjoyed and quickly shared her excitement with Chen Yao. "And he's treating me to a buffet tonight!"

"..."

Looking at Lin Nan's innocent appearance without any scheming, Chen Yao hesitated for a moment before reminding: "Are you sure he's not after your body?"

She paused, pouting: "The advisor knows I'm male."

Although he knows I'm male, he's obviously still affected by the charm magic's aftereffects.

This dinner date would be perfect for dispelling his strange thoughts. After all, he was the advisor. If he really had designs on her, rejecting him once or twice would be completely ineffective. Better to take the initiative to avoid being given a hard time later or being harassed more seriously.

It's definitely not for those two months of rental housing!
