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."*

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVPOqo6BbE

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

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRU19Ez5QL

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

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhFSx8fwPt

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.*

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGzDcP7Gzh

*"Jiang Tang."*

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJglbKTYB9a

I froze. *He was.*

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F9sTw0ZLb

*"Teachers assigned us as partners."*

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdEXyeUU1K

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

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrn03idwNK

No denial.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklSCwfOGmF

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

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6rycFMzWy

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

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXX0EhZWqA

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

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpm6FDNgDf

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

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuFq2ghgLh

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.

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi1VRkJWN8

That familiar username already topped the thread:

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

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmTmDOilQ8

My finger hovered over the screen for five full seconds.

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