**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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAQU3gKV5mNP
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.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA8MJJOrB1zC
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:
44Please respect copyright.PENANA5w9OhHlxx1
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
44Please respect copyright.PENANAqOTpbf67Ws
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAs97Uw81VFL
Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAMjPwMxpaWF
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
44Please respect copyright.PENANA469WUmq0Vs
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAjSvP7PzXro
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
44Please respect copyright.PENANAIz9WKMGWmn
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
44Please respect copyright.PENANAgNKTJlGN1O
Or
44Please respect copyright.PENANAWIgRaBBuUd
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
44Please respect copyright.PENANAwpHqZXcDLD
Then I'd wait for her edits.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAnE3PPe3h7Z
Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAA080LZe1lB
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA6UsbWyGpa5
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
