**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.

The eternal second-place finisher.
A writing prodigy.
A novelist who naively thinks she's hidden her identity well.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAM4p6t2uGcg
True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAEXjlLK3amb
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:
116Please respect copyright.PENANAGyWQkuivHp
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
116Please respect copyright.PENANA8min1CNGhE
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAutDqzhr3l1
Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ4AjR0Mpf
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
116Please respect copyright.PENANAteqbDYWBk9
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFVjmTNDY5H
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyYqUhRc2EP
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5nSJqgUUqE
Or
116Please respect copyright.PENANARwccRSLsKZ
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
116Please respect copyright.PENANAV0L0dk5WkO
Then I'd wait for her edits.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAzHfGwGkqOr
Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA2EozGgiWDK
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1EN3ik0O1l
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
