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

Her. The figure moved fast, but the outline was unmistakable.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA2QBpjkkCtQ
I'm Lu Huai, and that was my childhood friend.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAa2QNEFPTcP
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.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAggTko00xle
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:
14Please respect copyright.PENANAUClJuU0Owc
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
14Please respect copyright.PENANAVp3QOcvBhw
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.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAVKgdXzrbGX
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
14Please respect copyright.PENANAYAnepFOnVN
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAhtEAkmOFEY
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
14Please respect copyright.PENANAWIkPQFMPu5
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
14Please respect copyright.PENANAtzGWP2Ymt8
Or
14Please respect copyright.PENANAGRAEoOVpq8
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
14Please respect copyright.PENANAYUuJOwrfVK
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.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAiXTM9sqHbW
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA2tX6GyxKAa
At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAm6KdLTcGa0
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
