**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.

True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAob5YIZFDws
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:
12Please respect copyright.PENANAxva5chDR6N
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
12Please respect copyright.PENANAhwZCkX9XFv
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAGv0wwlUfPm
Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
12Please respect copyright.PENANARNDSg9Q6Oy
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
12Please respect copyright.PENANAX4X92w4PrC
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA9jF8EWOeQK
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
12Please respect copyright.PENANALZvzRO6K9X
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
12Please respect copyright.PENANAOCKIDen191
Or
12Please respect copyright.PENANA9nM7CCiUWp
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
12Please respect copyright.PENANA98XiGlXseg
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.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAnF6EdIek1U
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAjazKf5SELT
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
