**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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKeRPf2cOXg
The eternal second-place finisher.
A writing prodigy.
A novelist who naively thinks she's hidden her identity well.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA7IjfZ73iSo
True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.
162Please respect copyright.PENANArJu57UyPK8
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:
162Please respect copyright.PENANAQMdiMEWNcW
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
162Please respect copyright.PENANAirV8ggxWlC
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKdBSqioqlB
Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAAyfQndQ6Dw
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMMWOcSjpSN
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
162Please respect copyright.PENANACifVfBfYFU
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzPJZ0AswFx
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWAj1BUxxPT
Or
162Please respect copyright.PENANAchf2AsTDll
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
162Please respect copyright.PENANAL2IMF36RZr
Then I'd wait for her edits.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA2olsTyh86f
Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAAStswwHUPb
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAYf6l1xGyxR
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
