**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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAqjDPWnEg3I
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAZnpTwCMEV1
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:
379Please respect copyright.PENANAvsQnyzhuS3
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
379Please respect copyright.PENANAZuRpTsyJR8
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAVohlTUH2A6
Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAli35qyyEIU
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
379Please respect copyright.PENANAHwzQqZF0bB
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAuhUY7VzptA
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
379Please respect copyright.PENANASocffuerZ4
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
379Please respect copyright.PENANALaYXnHSxtq
Or
379Please respect copyright.PENANAGnoVSIDKqZ
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
379Please respect copyright.PENANABoY6PqtyJJ
Then I'd wait for her edits.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAFDnr4O6lyp
Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAcnZSjzfPfy
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAzk1ghlVpeo
At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
379Please respect copyright.PENANARbKgvQPBRT
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
