**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.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAMbovczIBwm
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:
94Please respect copyright.PENANAlrlQx3JPqy
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
94Please respect copyright.PENANAoUGgsfHXZg
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAhpeMF331ZU
Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
94Please respect copyright.PENANApmWFdo99eM
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
94Please respect copyright.PENANA94Lyv8Qj5v
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAXul3QwDMzB
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
94Please respect copyright.PENANAVG2xS6s2KF
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
94Please respect copyright.PENANAv1Ir8ITVMz
Or
94Please respect copyright.PENANAQoN3gxobqH
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
94Please respect copyright.PENANAkWW1gY1DzN
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.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ3ZLdi2Jm
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
94Please respect copyright.PENANADQsH95Gh14
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
