When she fell flat on the ground, Lin Nan instinctively tried to support herself, causing her palms to get scraped.
Her pants were also torn, and her knees hurt a bit, making her walk with a limp.
She wanted to refuse Zheng Qian's kindness, but this guy was really thick-skinned, shamelessly grabbing Lin Nan's arm while maintaining the proper facade of a qualified advisor: "I'm the advisor! How could I not care when a student has a problem?!"
Chen Yao was about to argue back when he suddenly heard Lin Yuan nod and persuade: "Lin Nan, you should go apply some medicine. It won't take long to go back and forth, and I can lend you my notes to copy."
Can't you just not butt in when you don't understand anything?
"Right, it won't waste much time." Tu Junhui was also quite concerned about Lin Nan, though he felt the advisor seemed a bit overly enthusiastic.
With several people's support, Zheng Qian was delighted. Lin Nan looked helpless and could only follow him toward the infirmary.
Lin Nan had used magic to review and memorize some key points right after class ended, which left her head still dizzy and throbbing. Although she wanted to refuse, her aching head didn't allow her to think of reasons to decline.
After walking a few steps, the class bell rang. Zheng Qian turned back and glared at Chen Yao, who was still trying to follow: "Hurry back to class. Don't worry, leave it to me."
That's exactly why I'm not at ease!
Chen Yao walked straight forward with an indifferent expression: "I'm skipping. It's fine."
Seeing him approach, Lin Nan quickly broke free from Zheng Qian and timidly hid behind Chen Yao.
Although Chen Yao seemed to have ulterior motives toward her too, at least he was a close friend she'd known for years, while Zheng Qian was a pervert lusting after her body after being charmed by her magic.
If she wasn't still living in Zheng Qian's friend's rental place, Lin Nan wouldn't be so polite to him.
"Then let's go together." Zheng Qian didn't seem to mind much, putting his hands in his pockets and walking at the front. "The infirmary only accepts cash, and I happen to have some money with me."
"It's fine, I have money too." Chen Yao was confrontational with him.
These two originally had a decent relationship. When Zheng Qian couldn't find the class monitor or was short-staffed, he often asked Chen Yao to handle things. Their age gap wasn't large either, so over time they became friends who occasionally played games and ate together.
But now, their friendship was rapidly crumbling.
"If you hadn't called Lin Nan out to see you, she wouldn't have fallen." Chen Yao began complaining about Zheng Qian, then turned to look at Lin Nan walking unsteadily beside him and quickly reached out to support her.
Who knows why Lin Nan was so dizzy today?
Zheng Qian directly ignored Chen Yao and asked Lin Nan with concern: "Are you still dizzy now? Should we go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"No need, it'll get better soon."
All the way, Chen Yao and Zheng Qian kept bickering, only stopping their verbal battle when they reached the infirmary door on the first floor of the academic building. After walking all the way, Lin Nan's dizziness finally improved somewhat.
After examination by the middle-aged doctor, Lin Nan's scraped palms and knees were cleaned and treated with red medicine. After symbolically collecting a few yuan, they were dismissed.
Honestly, Lin Nan also felt that simple scrapes didn't need such nervousness.
But Zheng Qian was probably using this as an excuse to try to be alone with her for a while.
Caught between the two men, Lin Nan wondered if this might be the legendary Shura field? (TN: Explanation below.)
Coming out of the infirmary with a lifeless expression, she looked up at both men. Before they could say much, Lin Nan spoke first: "I can go back and change pants by myself. You two go about your business, don't follow me anymore...
"Also, Advisor, you don't happen to have another key, do you?" Lin Nan looked at Zheng Qian.
Hearing this, Chen Yao's expression toward Zheng Qian changed completely.
He originally thought Zheng Qian was just a pervert lusting after Lin Nan's body. Now he realized he was a complete psycho, wasn't he?
Zheng Qian awkwardly touched his nose and explained sheepishly: "Didn't I need to check if my friend left anything else behind that night? I also helped clean up for you."
"Then you should have told me in advance that you had a key."
"I forgot." Zheng Qian awkwardly took the key from his pocket and handed it to Lin Nan.
Chen Yao looked at him like he was looking at a pervert and questioned suspiciously: "There aren't any other, are there?"
"No more, really." Zheng Qian spread his hands. "My friend lived there with her boyfriend, so there are only two sets of keys.
"Also, we need to find time for you to re-sign the contract with the landlord and meet them, so you won't have trouble finding someone to pay utilities."
Lin Nan took the key and put it in her pocket, nodding: "Okay."
Zheng Qian originally wanted to invite Lin Nan for a meal or something, but seeing her wary expression and Chen Yao interfering beside him, he knew today wasn't a good opportunity and could only reluctantly give up.
How did I end up liking a man? I'm at least somewhat handsome, and I'm about to get a graduate degree. What kind of girl couldn't I find?
Zheng Qian of course remembered that Lin Nan had said she was a girl, but anyone could tell that normal girls wouldn't hide in male dormitories. Moreover, he had seen Lin Nan's ID card. This wasn't the underdeveloped, backward era of decades ago.
He was more willing to believe Lin Nan was a crossdressing boss with a male body but female heart.
Just thinking about that male-on-male scenario was a bit exciting...
Near finals, Lin Nan was quite worried about some specialized course final assignments and could only run to the dormitory at noon to do homework under her roommates' guidance.
But Lin Nan, who originally wasn't good at memorization, was now full of confidence about cultural courses. Using magic several times a day, enduring dizziness and headaches for half an hour each time, in just a few days she had already memorized most of the content that needed to be remembered in her mind.
Although she couldn't guarantee she'd still remember during the actual exam, at least she felt confident.
After the last week of review, students entered a full week of study break, and Lin Nan frequently carried her computer back and forth between the dormitory and rental house during this week, hoping to complete as many specialized course final assignments as possible.
Perhaps due to gradually getting used to it, Lin Nan went from initially being embarrassed and blushing when going out wearing underwear, to later getting accustomed to the feeling of underwear and gradually forgetting she was wearing one more thing than before...
Although she would still feel somewhat shy when she remembered, she could barely accept it.
The main thing was that walking no longer caused friction against her chest leading to sensitive pain. Indeed, everything exists for a reason.
When students entered exam week, which was the last week of the semester.
Lin Nan was surprised to discover that her developmental period seemed to have ended.
Compared to other girls' developmental periods that could last several years, under the acceleration of magic, she had only used less than a semester.
Shura field originally meant scenes of carnage/big chaotic battle. But I also found that in danmei(BL), it means when two characters that like the same other character meet up. Sparks fly, yada yada.
Also this teacher fell so hard.
