**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.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAIsaNKsovhS
True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAXHRmSSzR8d
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:
121Please respect copyright.PENANAE3JVJ1IkJq
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
121Please respect copyright.PENANAPUfcpVEIUU
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAQImcl8CeB1
Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.

*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
121Please respect copyright.PENANAaRlzLkHhaM
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAHP5uo0OnvF
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
121Please respect copyright.PENANAmN7mr4qdNz
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
121Please respect copyright.PENANA5xWcCBPXRP
Or
121Please respect copyright.PENANAhoFVWIAJ2f
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
121Please respect copyright.PENANALE0mt67WtT
Then I'd wait for her edits.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAOQjNU4rhNQ
Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAeDZ6gSkGGA
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAohekDs3Tc1
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
