**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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAkvjRk00NxL
The eternal second-place finisher.
A writing prodigy.
A novelist who naively thinks she's hidden her identity well.
109Please respect copyright.PENANABgt9UDwBX8
True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.
109Please respect copyright.PENANADoN1oAwqMB
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:
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyHf8VYu3gm
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJWeS0uLcjG
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoGtPZKT4Dh
Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q2MQUQ6wZ
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzqjQuu2LQ0
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
109Please respect copyright.PENANATWjUjVnZzY
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnZuAYJ3DL9
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8ITSlBwD4
Or
109Please respect copyright.PENANAG2AkCd6SaN
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
109Please respect copyright.PENANAvbKlupBbFK
Then I'd wait for her edits.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6pzibrQJ8l
Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHoV03A78QK
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.
109Please respect copyright.PENANApcBBsciloe
At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAsGFEswlwc0
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
