This seafood buffet was located in the hotel's second-floor hall.

Rows of long tables were filled with various buffet foods, with square tables evenly and neatly distributed around the long tables. Although it was mealtime, there weren't many customers in the hall, only about half the seats occupied.

Before sitting down, Lin Nan had already forgotten her earlier nervousness and was instead excitedly examining the dishes on the long tables.

Lobster! Abalone! King crab legs! Salmon sashimi! And there was even a chef grilling steaks!

Although most of the surrounding delicacies were just everyday types, there were also some seafood items that Lin Nan had never eaten or even seen in her daily life. And today, she could take as much as she wanted! Eat as much as she wanted!

Lin Nan had eaten at buffets before, but most were thirty or forty yuan BBQ buffets, or buffet sets sold alongside steaks in steak restaurants. She had never been to this kind of high-end ingredient buffet.

She occasionally let out quiet exclamations, her gaze fixed on those lobsters.

Even though she lived in a southern coastal city, seafood like lobster and king crab was still too high-end for her. She had only eaten lobster once at a banquet, and only got a ping-pong ball-sized piece of meat.

"Have a seat," Zheng Qian said with a smile as they reached their reserved table, watching Lin Nan's expression like a grandmother entering the Grand View Garden, finding this boy incredibly cute.

"Don't we need to get food?" Lin Nan had completely forgotten the purpose of her visit, her mind full of eating, eating, eating, her face beaming with an uncontrollable smile.

"I'll get it for you. Want something to drink?"

"Coke!"

Although after becoming a girl she was more conscious of strangers' gazes, everyone in the restaurant was focused on their own meals and no one had time to pay attention to Lin Nan. Besides, she couldn't be a shut-in staying in the dorm all day. No matter how uncomfortable, she could only minimize visits to crowded places.

She curiously looked around at the customers at surrounding tables. These people weren't dressed in formal wear as she had imagined. At most they were just neatly dressed, which made her feel somewhat more like she belonged for her first time eating a high-end buffet at a hotel.

Soon Zheng Qian returned to their seats with two plates of seafood. When he had come with Lin Nan earlier, he had carefully observed what Lin Nan's gaze lingered on and specifically selected things that seemed to interest her.

There was also a small hot pot in the middle of the table. Zheng Qian directly put some raw seafood into the hot pot, and gave Lin Nan half of the cooked items like steak.

His face was full of smiles, watching Lin Nan impatiently pick up chopsticks. He inexplicably felt happiness in his heart.

Although his feelings for Lin Nan had already diminished with the magic's failure, the remaining trace still made him eager to understand Lin Nan better.

At least from today's interaction, he discovered that Lin Nan really was adorably willful.

Greed for money and cheap things—this personality would seem disgusting on a greasy middle-aged man, but somehow on Lin Nan it was incredibly cute.

"Here, coke."

Zheng Qian handed over the coke. He didn't eat anything himself, just stared obsessively at Lin Nan, who had no eating manners whatsoever, using chopsticks to pick up an entire piece of steak and stuff it in his mouth while holding a large shrimp in his other hand and still eyeing the king crab legs in the hot pot.

The more he looked, the cuter he seemed.

A smile curved his lips. He felt there was something wrong with his head.

Although he quite liked 2D trap characters, he had always had no interest in 3D traps, and had always looked down on those crossdressing bosses.

But unexpectedly, he had fallen here.

Future babies should be called Zheng Chenggong. Zheng He was a eunuch—a bit inauspicious. (TN: Zheng Chenggong helped liberate from the Dutch, associating the name with success. Zheng He was a eunuch, thus unable to continue his blood line. And descendants are important, and could be considered a failure to have none.)

As for how to have them... adopting one wouldn't be bad either, right?

Having finally finished a piece of steak, Lin Nan was about to fish out the crab legs from the pot when she suddenly looked up and noticed Zheng Qian's ill-intentioned gaze. She shuddered all over and asked somewhat warily, "Why are you staring at me?

"I'm male..." When Lin Nan said this, she felt extremely guilty and could no longer be as confident as before.

"I know." Zheng Qian cupped his chin with the back of his hand, continuing to stare with a smile.

Lin Nan felt her scalp tingle under his gaze, uncomfortable all over. Her appetite that had just risen also subsided. She hurriedly drank two sips of coke, her face flushed as she stood up: "I'm going to the restroom."

"Want me to show you the way?"

She was stunned, looked around, and didn't see any restroom signs, so she could only nod helplessly.

Speaking of which... which restroom should I use?

On the way to the restroom, this question suddenly appeared in Lin Nan's mind.

If Zheng Qian liked men, then if she went to the women's restroom, would that crush his feelings and make him lose interest in her?

Lin Nan felt that Zheng Qian's feelings for her were mainly aftereffects from that charm magic, and secondly from the novelty of mistakenly thinking she was male.

Led to the restroom entrance, Lin Nan glanced back at Zheng Qian, who stood there with arms crossed waiting, then bit the bullet and walked into the women's restroom.

This was probably the first time in her life coming to a women's restroom, right?

It wasn't much different from men's restrooms, just with a slightly stronger smell, and here there were only individual stalls, making it seem more spacious.

There were quite a few girls in the restroom, even forming queues. Lin Nan blended in without anyone paying attention to her. Face red and head down, she hurriedly found a relatively short queue to join.

She didn't actually need to use the toilet, she just felt that after wearing the sanitary pad for most of the day, it should be changed.

After all, her magic couldn't purify her body anytime and anywhere. Blood would still flow out, and if she accidentally forgot to use magic, she might end up with her bottom all red when sitting there.

That would really be embarrassing beyond belief, okay?

After more than ten minutes, Lin Nan finally came out of the restroom. With a shy expression, she slightly raised her head to observe Zheng Qian's expression, but found that this advisor didn't seem surprised at all that she had entered the women's restroom.

What a pervert indeed!

She cursed angrily in her heart, then put on a somewhat smiling expression and asked in a sarcastic tone: "Advisor Zheng, doesn't our school have rules against teachers and students dating?"

"Are there any? I'm a student, second-year graduate." Hearing Lin Nan's question, Zheng Qian immediately switched identities. "I'm also your senior. How about calling me Big Brother Zheng from now on?"

"???"

Lin Nan, learning for the first time that graduate students could work part-time as advisors, was full of question marks.

She had always thought Zheng Qian just looked young but was actually the same age as the thirty or forty-year-old advisor from the neighboring class.

Turns out he wasn't much older than her.

Lin Nan, who had been immersed in food until now, finally came to her senses and decided to start her plan for today!

First, confirm that she could get that vacant rental unit, then disgust Zheng Qian so he would no longer like her!
