Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 94 Identity Exposed
Li Yu was experiencing the biggest crisis in his life. He was stopped by a young girl. This person was none other than Ding Yumian, who was quite familiar with him.

"Junior?"

Li Yu had just come out of a real estate agency. Not long after he walked out the door, he heard a slightly confusing call from behind.

"Ok?"

Li Yu paused, turned around with a puzzled look, and looked at the girl a few meters away.
"Miss, are you calling me?"

The girl was also very surprised when Li Yu turned around. She shook her head quickly when she heard Li Yu's question.
"Sorry, I got the wrong person."

"fine."

Li Yu shook his head and was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly, the untimely ringing of his cell phone made Li Yu's heart skip a beat. He took out his cell phone and was shocked to see the label "Senior Sister".

When he turned around again, he saw that the girl had a mobile phone in her hand, and the contact's name was clearly displayed on it - Junior.

Li Yu: “…”

Question: What should I do if I am caught in disguise on the street by my senior schoolmate?
For the first time, Li Yu truly felt how stupid it was to go out without making full preparations!
At least you should leave your phone in the dormitory!
But now, there is no regret medicine to buy. The girl in front of him has curved eyes, with a rare cunning flash in her eyes. She takes two steps forward.
"Sir, is it convenient for you to visit my home?"

Li Yu nodded blankly.

Until he followed Ding Yumian's back and came to a nearby residential area, Li Yu almost couldn't help but slap himself. It was his bad luck!
It’s so damn unlucky!

What Li Yu didn't expect was that the agency he found was located less than ten minutes away from the residential area where Ding Yumian lived. No wonder he could run into them in such a big city.

Following Ding Yumian all the way to a door, Ding Yumian took out the key, opened the door skillfully, and extended an invitation to Li Yu.
"Brother, please come in."

Li Yu walked into the room tremblingly, heard the door close with a bang, and sat upright on the sofa as arranged by Ding Yumian.

After looking around, Li Yu started to make small talk.
"Senior, isn't Senior Huang here?"

"Xingli, it's challenge week soon. Xingli is preparing to strive for a higher ranking. She will be training in the daytime these days."

"Ah, then Senior, don't you have to go?"

"Me? I don't have high expectations for ranking."

"But the higher the ranking, the more resources you can get, right?"

"With my current strength, the resources I get from improving my ranking will not be of much use."

"Oh."

Li Yu fell silent again.

"Junior, what would you like to drink? Black tea? Green tea? Juice? Or water?"

Suddenly, Ding Yumian's voice woke up Li Yu, who had not yet completely recovered from his slumber. Li Yu looked up and saw Ding Yumian standing at the kitchen door. Her normal look made Li Yu feel at ease.
"Ah? Then have a glass of water."

"No problem, just wait a moment."

Not long after, Ding Yumian sat opposite Li Yu with two glasses of water and handed one of them to him.

"Thank you, senior sister."

Li Yu lowered his head to take it, but he didn't hear the response in his memory. He was confused at first, and then he saw Ding Yumian's complicated eyes looking at him.
"Junior, can you restore your original appearance? I'm not used to you like this."

"Ah, okay."

Li Yu suddenly realized, and then said:
"Can I borrow the bathroom in your house, Senior?"

"Right there."

"OK, thanks."

Ten minutes later, after a busy period and confirming that everything was correct, Li Yu reappeared in the living room.

"I never thought that you have another face, junior brother."

Ding Yumian's tone was full of curiosity, and her eyes were shining without blinking, as if she wanted to see through Li Yu completely.

"Just rely on this mask."

"Mask? A mask that can change your appearance so perfectly? It's rare."

Ding Yumian took the mask from Li Yu and looked at it for a while, then said in surprise.

"I got this mask by accident."

After briefly answering Ding Yumian's question, Li Yu also needed to confide his doubts.

"Senior, can I ask how you discovered my identity? Did I reveal any flaws?" Apart from the cell phone.

For nearly four years, Li Yu was a good student in normal times and a hunter in his spare time. He had a lot of fun switching between two faces. Hunter and judge often dealt with each other and no one had ever noticed that his identity was unusual. How come he was seen through today when he just turned around on the street?

Hearing this, Ding Yumian's expression froze, and there was a complex emotion in his eyes, a mixture of sadness, tension, and a variety of inexplicable emotions.
"Junior, your disguise is actually perfect, but I am just more familiar with you."

"Ah? Can this be a reason?"

Li Yu was obviously not satisfied with this answer. Ding Yumian smiled and said:
"Junior, have you never paid attention to your little movements?"

"Small moves?"

Li Yu looked at himself, then looked at Ding Yumian with a blank face. The latter continued like a teacher answering questions:
"For example, when you walk, your right hand will occasionally exert force, causing the blood vessels on the back of your hand to bulge, and your fingers will occasionally shrink back and forth toward the palm in the order of the little finger to the thumb."

Li Yu: “Hmm?”

He was startled, it seemed as if he had never been aware of these habitual actions of his.

Meeting Ding Yumian's slightly smug gaze, the latter's already beautiful face coupled with a natural smile showed a bit of brightness,
"These are the little flaws you've revealed to me when we're together."

Li Yu raised his hand and said seriously:
"Senior sister, you have a sharp eye. I admire you very much."

"But, Junior, why are you pretending? Is there something important? Then why are you at the real estate agency?"

Li Yu's expression froze. Could he say that he simply had too much time and was bored, so he found himself a house on the way back so that he could move out of the dormitory next semester?
"The disguise is mainly to facilitate my side business."

"Side job?" Ding Yumian blinked.

“What side job requires disguise?”

"hunter."

"Hunter?" The doubt in Ding Yumian's eyes became even stronger.
"There are many students in our academy who have a side job as hunters, and no one has ever said that they need to change their appearance."

However, Ding Yumian noticed Li Yu's increasingly embarrassed look in time and took the initiative to change the subject.
"So, is your junior going to the real estate agency to prepare to move out of the dormitory next semester?"

As a student of Mingzhu Academy, Ding Yumian is also an experienced person. After a little thought, he guessed Li Yu's purpose, and this guess was also recognized by Li Yu.

"Yes."

Li Yu was relieved that Ding Yumian stopped asking about his disguise. He nodded and said:

“But I didn’t find the right house.”

Ding Yumian lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Junior, do you live alone or share a house with friends?"

"Alone."

Li Yu knew his identity and situation, so he didn't dare to share a house with others.

"If you live alone, there is a family in our building who is renting out a single-person apartment. Would you like to take a look? I am familiar with the owner and can help you contact him."

Li Yu was delighted. Although his needs were not urgent, it was still quite pleasant to be able to solve some things early.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior sister."

It was not until an hour later, when Li Yu and Ding Yumian arrived at the door opposite the latter's residence, that he realized what familiarity meant. They lived opposite each other and saw each other every day. How could they not be familiar with each other?

"Senior sister...is this the house you were talking about?" Li Yu's mouth twitched and he asked cautiously.

"Yes." Ding Yumian responded with a smile.

"Young man, you are dissatisfied with my house before you even see it?"

The landlady who was called over by Ding Yumian was smiling, and her expression looked a little dangerous.

"No no no..."

Li Yu hurriedly shook his head. He simply didn't want to be too close to Ding Yumian. The pressure she brought to him was a bit too much. It was not the pressure caused by the difference in strength, but something that was hard to explain.

"Sister Zhou, please take us to see the house." Ding Yumian took advantage of Li Yu's distraction to take over the task of negotiating with the landlord.

"Okay, okay, Ding girl is quite anxious."
