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."*

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrVIW6JYVR

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

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5VisP41IG

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

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6zkjj5DPr

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.*

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22bGmDXVsP

*"Jiang Tang."*

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaAQuwXfBw

I froze. *He was.*

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNONZLB3UfZ

*"Teachers assigned us as partners."*

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFxYfPeEYH

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

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO44KBj1j64

No denial.

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

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL7AG4BafD

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

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2mAg7xUwH

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

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL9ra4sCxj

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

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1COXyUQh2

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.

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8JV8Y8bvX

That familiar username already topped the thread:

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

94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpGPGEAAG9

My finger hovered over the screen for five full seconds.

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