She’d just finished the last of the shop’s chores and stopped me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, something up, Senior?” I asked cautiously. She’d been riled up by Ying Shiqian earlier—first startled, then tricked into thinking she’d get a new recipe, only to nearly make herself sick testing it. I was worried her bad mood might spill over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I talked to the boss about your pay. You see the deposit?” she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, yeah, I got it. Thanks, Senior!” I said, relieved. Just that, thank goodness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. You’re buying incense, right? I can recommend some shops. Quality’s all over the place, so don’t get ripped off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” My eyes lit up. I had zero experience with incense and was just going to grab whatever. A recommendation from her could save me a ton of hassle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yup. I’ll send you the shop’s address later. Got to run—catch you later!” she said, waving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bye, Senior! I’m off!” I called back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parting ways, I headed to the nearest transit station. My villa wasn’t far, but I wasn’t ready to go home. It was just me there—heading back meant going to bed early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well buy some incense and maybe check out the meditation room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I checked the time— it was still early. After hearing Ying Shiqian rave about meditation rooms, I was sold. The problem was that a proper meditation room wasn’t cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My phone buzzed. Must be Tang Yihan sending the shop’s address.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name caught me off guard: “Aromatherapy Boutique.” Wasn’t I looking for incense? Weren’t aromatherapy and incense the same thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused but curious, I locked in the destination and mapped out the bus route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I arrived, but finding the place took some effort. The shop was tiny, squeezed between two bigger storefronts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, it was narrow but elegantly decorated, lined with rows of bottled aromatics. Even sealed, a heady, almost overwhelming scent filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“New customer? Looking for anything specific?” a voice called from the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That voice—silky, almost hypnotic, dripping with charm like the shop’s fragrance—gave me instant goosebumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned and saw her: a stunning, tall witch gliding toward me, her heels clicking sharply, echoing in my head. Her tailored dress hugged her curves, every move screaming refined elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was frozen until she stopped right in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… s-sorry!” I stammered, mentally kicking myself. Why was I acting like some creepy dude? So embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to apologize,” she said with a soft laugh, unfazed by my awkwardness. “I didn’t expect a freshman to wander in. I hope I didn’t startle you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was taking the blame? Her kindness only made me feel worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s my talent,” she continued, her eyes glinting. “You were a cute boy before, weren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” My embarrassment vanished, replaced by shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did everyone keep figuring out I used to be a boy? What gave me away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My talent draws in people attracted to women,” she said, casually reaching out to pinch my cheek with a smile. “If you weren’t a boy before, you’d have to be a deeply closeted lesbian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“S-Sorry!” I swatted her hand away, my heart racing as she leaned closer. What kind of talent was this? It was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So shy. Definitely a boy,” she teased, pulling back without a hint of offense. “So, what brings you to my shop, little one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… whew…” I stepped back, catching my breath to steady my racing heart. “My senior recommended this place for incense. Uh, Senior, do you have incense here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After my run-ins with older students, I’d learned calling anyone “Senior” at the academy was a safe bet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I needed to know about the incense. The shop was packed with liquid aromatherapy bottles, not a stick of meditation incense in sight. Were these the same thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Recommended, huh? Mind sharing who sent you? I don’t get many customers,” she said, her voice still dripping with that magnetic charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…” I hesitated. Tang Yihan hadn’t said if I could name-drop her. Would it be rude to spill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, my bad, I got nosy,” she said with a light laugh. “You’re after incense, right? For meditation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” I nodded eagerly, catching on. So there was a difference between regular incense and meditation incense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, but meditation incense can get pricey,” she warned, turning to fetch something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a breath as she walked away. She seemed kind, but her presence made me jittery. That talent of hers—fatal attraction? Terrifying. Good thing I had some self-control, I told myself, patting my chest. Was it my imagination, or did it feel… bigger? Probably. I’d been putting in serious effort at night to help things along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her comment about the price didn’t surprise me. My paycheck had hit, but a full day’s work only netted about two hundred bucks. A few days of that wasn’t much. I hoped the incense wasn’t too steep—I still wanted to hit the meditation room later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Translator's note: In Chinese internet slang, \"cute boy\" is often a teasing term. It usually refers to someone who looks like a cute girl but is actually a boy. This is common in anime culture.\u003C\u002Fp>",870,"2026-06-03T10:21:36.430Z","2026-06-03T10:21:31.928Z",1,"novelbin.me","a2a2be104961cae2c842873491ae3eeb5368e309e3520384a2d3176b79af2501","is-it-weird-for-a-guy-to-apply-to-a-witch-school-chapter-60","is-it-weird-for-a-guy-to-apply-to-a-witch-school-chapter-58",710,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fis-it-weird-for-a-guy-to-apply-to-a-witch-school-cover.jpg"]
