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

Chapter 299 : Counselor

The second semester of sophomore year had fewer courses compared to the last semester.

First, there were no more evening self-study sessions. In their place was certification testing.

You register and pay for certification exams, and then there will be a course focused on exam preparation. This course was usually held in the evening. If you were diligent enough and had money, you could completely register for five exams and continue attending classes as busy as last semester.

But Lin Nan obviously wasn't that type of person.

Mainly because she was poor.

After the first class on Tuesday morning ended, Lin Nan had planned to follow the main group to the classroom for the next course, but was called over by the counselor midway.

Lin Nan was a bit nervous. She'd always held some guilt toward Zheng Qian. After all, she seemed to have used charm magic to turn Zheng Qian gay. Or maybe he originally was, and she just stirred up thoughts deep in his heart?

She handed her books to Chen Yao and came to the office doorway, poking her head inside.

"Come in." Zheng Qian spotted her little head and called out.

Lin Nan walked into the office in small steps, feeling a bit nervous, afraid this guy would start pestering her again. But when they met last time, Zheng Qian had obviously lost interest in her.

She walked to stand in front of the office desk. Zheng Qian didn't raise his head and continued handling official business, his tone all business. "Your information should be updated tomorrow. Come by around four PM tomorrow afternoon to pick up your materials, along with your new student ID. The replacement fee is ten yuan."

"The school stuff can be resolved tomorrow. If you want to change your student records, that needs to be reported up. But it can definitely be done within ten days to half a month."

"Mm." Lin Nan stood there timidly.

"I called you here because there's a question I need to ask you." Zheng Qian put down his pen and looked up at Lin Nan. "Are you planning to continue attending classes in your current class, or transfer to the neighboring class?"

"If you attend class in your own class, classmates will inevitably know about your situation. If you go to another class, unless you're willing to say it yourself, no one will know about your situation." Zheng Qian continued. "There's also the issue of living off-campus. If you change classes, you might need to stay in the girls' dormitory for a few days. I need to communicate and coordinate with your new counselor to get her to allow you to live off-campus."

Zheng Qian's attitude now was very different from his previous perverted and easy-going manner. This sudden change made Lin Nan feel somewhat inadaptable.

She roughly understood and nodded, but asked in confusion, "If I change classes? Which class?"

"Same department, same major, Class 2 obviously. What other class could it be?" Zheng Qian rolled his eyes at her. "Or did you also want to take the opportunity to change majors?"

Class 2...

Wouldn't that mean being in the same class as Lina and Liu Xuefei?

Having classmates in her current class know about her situation, as well as integrating into a new class, both seemed very difficult for her.

"I knew you wouldn't decide quickly. Send me a message before tomorrow." Zheng Qian shook his head.

The class bell rang. Lin Nan asked uneasily, "Um, is there anything else? I need to go to class."

"Don't rush. Sit down. There's a psychological assessment form here, fill it out." Zheng Qian took out several forms from a drawer and handed them to Lin Nan. "The school is worried you might have psychological problems. Fill out the form for a simple test."

"Mm, but this thing isn't very reliable, is it?"

"It can reflect your recent psychological state." Zheng Qian also wrote a phone number on a note and handed it to her. "If you feel you have psychological problems, feel uncomfortable, experience auditory or visual hallucinations, or want to commit suicide, call and ask her. She's a psychology teacher at our school."

Lin Nan took the note in bewilderment, glanced at it, then looked up and asked, "Counselor Zheng, don't you need one?"

Zheng Qian was speechless for a moment, finally coughing forcefully several times to cover his embarrassment, his expression becoming stern. "I'm already a teacher. My psychological adjustment ability is much stronger than you students."

"But I always feel your psychology might also have some problems. You might need it more than me..." Lin Nan muttered and lowered her head to begin filling out the test form.

It's all because of you! I originally only liked 2D traps!

Zheng Qian's expression was a bit stiff. He didn't say anything, looking awkward.

He secretly glanced at Lin Nan's face. Compared to last semester, the current Lin Nan was indeed more feminine. There were almost no masculine characteristics visible on her body. She was clearly prettier, yet he increasingly felt his heart was calm like an ancient well.

From his time studying until now, he'd seen countless pretty girls. But if judging only by appearance, Lin Nan really couldn't rank very high, especially at university, where those girls all knew how to dress up and put on light makeup. Although Lin Nan had natural beauty, in the end, she definitely couldn't compare to those who wore makeup.

He sighed lightly and suddenly asked, "You seem to be together with Chen Yao?"

"Eh?"

"Does he know you're female?"

Lin Nan hadn't expected Zheng Qian to ask this question. After freezing for a moment, she nodded repeatedly, her face also taking on a layer of flush.

Zheng Qian had thought Chen Yao shared a common language with him. Perhaps several months of staying home had calmed Zheng Qian down, or perhaps his preference was for traps from the start. Now, he surprisingly had no interest in Lin Nan at all. Only the slight residual feelings in his heart made his attitude toward Lin Nan much gentler.

These slight feelings might still be aftereffects of the charm magic.

"The rental apartment you're living in is still the one I recommended, right? When you have time, find the landlord and have them sign a contract. If you cause trouble off-campus, remember to tell me too."

"Mm." Lin Nan focused on examining the test form.

This psychological assessment form was obviously much more professional than online ones. The questions were numerous and varied, and you couldn't tell the purpose of the questions at a glance. This forced Lin Nan to fill it out honestly, unable to deliberately control the final result like with online tests.

"If you have psychological problems, go find that counseling teacher. Anyway, I don't want students under my supervision jumping off buildings or into the river.”

Zheng Qian lowered his head again to start his own work, muttering, "Nine years ago, there was someone at our school who committed suicide by jumping into the sea at Zengcuoan. It caused a huge uproar. Don't let the main character of such a tale end up being you."

Lin Nan didn't know why this counselor always felt she had suicidal tendencies. She silently rolled her eyes. "I think, Advisor, you should be more concerned about your own sexual orientation."

Zheng Qian choked again, somewhat angrily raising his head to glare at her. But Lin Nan had just finished filling out the test, handed over the paper and pen, and pretended not to see as she turned her head away. "If there's nothing else, I'll go to class."

"Go ahead. Think about whether you're staying in your class or transferring. You must tell me clearly tonight."

"Got it." Lin Nan turned and ran out of the office at a trot.

"This girl." Zheng Qian shook his head, put the test form in the drawer, and then his expression suddenly became elated. He happily hugged his phone and began chatting with the "girl" he'd met at the bar.

I really do prefer pretty boys after all!
