Don't pretend you don't know me - I heard you're going to team up with him?

**Me, Jiang Tang.** I was thriving in the literature club—*until* the dean dropped this bomb:

*"With grades like yours, you should contribute to the STEM competition too."*

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcx6UueStg

My world collapsed. *Can't I just slack in peace?*

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZEHos8WsA

*"There's a science competition coming up. Perfect—you and Lu Huai can team up."*

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHK9Y4tNid

I was about to refuse... *but wait—Lu Huai?!* Up-close view of the campus heartthrob? *Sign me up.*

After school, I exited the library to find Lu Huai waiting at the door.

*OS: He can't be here for me... Right? Though I do see him haunt this place often.*

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4IZpjwz5C

*"Jiang Tang."*

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9an808mRd

I froze. *He was.*

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSLLUTxTm0

*"Teachers assigned us as partners."*

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCoXm83fw7

*"...Oh."* I met his gaze, feigning calm. *"So you came to fetch me?"*

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF6n75bJmi

No denial.

*"I reviewed the materials."* He paused. *"You draft faster. Let's finish tonight."*

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjhgFaPiPd

*"You write too?"* I arched a brow. *"Thought you only brainstormed."*

Instead of answering, he tilted his head slightly and murmured:

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFtctb30tr

*"You hate noise, don't you?"*

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyha4pfzTT6

For a heartbeat, I *swore* he knew—as if he'd memorized my pet peeves without me ever speaking them aloud.

10 PM again. I opened my novel's comment section to update.

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlew6fviziU

That familiar username already topped the thread:

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b5AHHnobB

**[lii]:** *"Met your story's male lead today? He seemed... quiet."*

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtGvQYcoOw

My finger hovered over the screen for five full seconds.

*OS: WHO IS THIS PERSON?! Stalking me?! Just you wait till I unmask you—*
