**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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAz3DYux3vcg
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.PENANA0ONo9EEDkl
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
15Please respect copyright.PENANAnhDu7kez21
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAdaU73peEbm
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.PENANAjxA9Hwi4uh
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
15Please respect copyright.PENANAZH32l50uQi
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAPR5vtyfulE
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAHPdjABjyrl
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
15Please respect copyright.PENANAAOR3ZlIMTP
Or
15Please respect copyright.PENANAAdFETDHyJq
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
15Please respect copyright.PENANARFQun8hAq8
Then I'd wait for her edits.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAexvgN0W94M
Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4arF2GZoH
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
15Please respect copyright.PENANArqRj0b8qhP
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
