**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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKmkbssJZm8
True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAr2V2o1Al5v
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:
158Please respect copyright.PENANAolYy3u6qy6
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
158Please respect copyright.PENANAggOuEoKG5p
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANADVmyUaUgJA
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKv5zBhg6Tz
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqH9n7Z07Py
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJIXQIQVjl1
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
158Please respect copyright.PENANALnD0KY6TEx
Or
158Please respect copyright.PENANAVR2jLRuwfr
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
158Please respect copyright.PENANAIb3fgQBgVM
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAory1IMnNDf
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAip2FXQX1WP
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
