**My gaze flicked to the doorway, catching a fleeting silhouette.**

Her. The figure moved fast, but the outline was unmistakable.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAUotdPEpIXV
I'm Lu Huai, and that was my childhood friend.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAOIUJcksL75
The eternal second-place finisher.
A writing prodigy.
A novelist who naively thinks she's hidden her identity well.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAEe5iAPjPqn
True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzHXUOyBpZm
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:
66Please respect copyright.PENANAf8VY1OTvn5
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
66Please respect copyright.PENANAQgkKlrAJfZ
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.

Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAS39RQs5BMb
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
66Please respect copyright.PENANAYopqIYVPAm
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAffI3rZMxjl
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
66Please respect copyright.PENANAI6HA318g14
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
66Please respect copyright.PENANAY1UlFcLPEJ
Or
66Please respect copyright.PENANAxlqoM6eZvH
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
66Please respect copyright.PENANAzxpTZEsGYi
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.
66Please respect copyright.PENANACfbV2cfkr0
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
66Please respect copyright.PENANAip8hDk4t6A
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
