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.

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

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kfPKfh56v

The eternal second-place finisher.

A writing prodigy.

A novelist who naively thinks she's hidden her identity well.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvhU4vouKZ

True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dOs9IAuNC

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp7fa7WofY

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

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaIhASMMgE

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe5uVXFzeL

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

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0F1dk1RBk

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

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu6AcoQvXM

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

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sH9RrkhBk

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEDezompjK

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

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBkoxFugdd

Then I'd wait for her edits.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ2dZQjx7F

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

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLuiYtvX8z

Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v7YOknB8N

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

49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWRCHUfkGP

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