**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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAinZ2FdXoxL
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAG7ZuMlT0L3
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:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAXdUgRImUV0
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
15Please respect copyright.PENANARRALbYQ32Z
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANACrkvg3f7YM
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
15Please respect copyright.PENANAY6mdHuPSBu
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAzUv0tHmzyc
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAUy2uM82lfN
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
15Please respect copyright.PENANApT1Ig5J9aA
Or
15Please respect copyright.PENANAl9dNAK2WRv
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
15Please respect copyright.PENANAIslimNcgd9
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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAMsWlyCMN6m
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
15Please respect copyright.PENANACsQpAXmhYd
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
