**My gaze flicked to the doorway, catching a fleeting silhouette.**

Her. The figure moved fast, but the outline was unmistakable.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA83GS2TC9zf
I'm Lu Huai, and that was my childhood friend.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA63QypepJm5
The eternal second-place finisher.
A writing prodigy.
A novelist who naively thinks she's hidden her identity well.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAV6RjWYbwsw
True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAvNJFhjaeox
That writer who reliably delivers 100,000-word updates, whose prose is sharp yet whimsically unreasonable.

I discovered her during a sleepless night, scrolling through a forum when one of her campus novels caught my eye. At first glance, it didn't interest me much—until I saw the comments section erupting:
43Please respect copyright.PENANA5zvkr2fqWk
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
43Please respect copyright.PENANAIUj7eQhsbj
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAJU2rKixUHb
Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAqkujzpFFYr
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
43Please respect copyright.PENANAo2HsItC0Ym
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA0cefBvohnE
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
43Please respect copyright.PENANAKDwgivkvWw
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
43Please respect copyright.PENANAvgAloVEdif
Or
43Please respect copyright.PENANASIcGtjgL5z
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
43Please respect copyright.PENANAuu3TprqhKF
Then I'd wait for her edits.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAmJNTBwsxgo
Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAZq6flrMVum
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAModX4lRffN
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
