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

Her. The figure moved fast, but the outline was unmistakable.

I'm Lu Huai, and that was my childhood friend.
46Please respect copyright.PENANApgGBzN4Huh
The eternal second-place finisher.
A writing prodigy.
A novelist who naively thinks she's hidden her identity well.

True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.
46Please respect copyright.PENANApvB109ASYp
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:
46Please respect copyright.PENANAf7OwpMx9Kc
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
46Please respect copyright.PENANACvB1VGHDwm
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.

Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAz6Ae7xVgpd
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
46Please respect copyright.PENANAOToW7Uwzbw
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA112M1twe4t
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
46Please respect copyright.PENANANLS1qdp5G1
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
46Please respect copyright.PENANA05thXVQQgs
Or
46Please respect copyright.PENANAjRspcvOLvw
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
46Please respect copyright.PENANA0ofH4JLdGG
Then I'd wait for her edits.

Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAwHJJeMRL6W
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA6za5yT6RHt
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
