Don't pretend you don't know me - We seem to know each other..?

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

Her. The figure moved fast, but the outline was unmistakable.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNutMoRaKFy

I'm Lu Huai, and that was my childhood friend.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWnV1ccPbo

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.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO20KStulp

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:

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tDwaovj3L

*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXIXGJqRtQ

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.

*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EPlAaSDc6

I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFg2kZUBr3

From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJvs86z4lC

**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo58IWPjsh

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJSEp5sewI

**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRHnCXTzAO

Then I'd wait for her edits.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CpTJXYQCD

Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC7KToOp4i

Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6F2Kul4PY

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRPadxKmyR

But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
