No Plagiarism!swkFrPXNG3vRHx3B5QpVposted on PＥNAＮＡ

**Afternoon in an empty classroom,** upperclassmen paired us for mock drills.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6KxHI5pt6

Naturally, I got Lu Huai again.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jgNJnifqU

Silent as ever, but lethally precise. Memory like a steel trap.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr4GKYe62X

While presenting our PPT, I quipped offhand:

*"I write better than I speak."*

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uiEBlNUx9

Lu Huai locked eyes with me for two solid seconds—then deadpanned:

*"I know."*

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPzF2RiEIB

*God.* That sharp jawline of his looked *illegally* handsome when serious.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeXMrgOMtL

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf5oJQ30qj

Post-dinner library session.

(*"Answer-checking"*—code for *Lu Huai inventing reasons to keep me late.* Whatever. Not complaining.)

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBPzLKI2Y6

I stumbled over a complex formula. Without a word, he slid his water glass toward me.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hfRX6jSgh

The silence turned lethal. I deflected:

*"My novel’s stuck."*

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ997xQiUIGZ

*"Rewrite it,"* he said, like commenting on the weather, *"without the guilt this time."*

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlENMSHCnvY

My head snapped up.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFDbJkvrV3

*OS: That’s *lii’s* exact cadence. Are they—?*

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CAHxf6y21

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoDtlNr6zc

10 PM. Posted the update. *lii* struck instantly:

**[lii]:** *"Three hesitations today. Why?"*

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5S5mYQ8bs

I caved—replied:

*"Do you know me?"*

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMnnbBX0uu

Four words came minutes later:

**[lii]:** *"Guess."*

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVcev77ZGj

*"Hah."* My thumb hovered. *Sly, repressed STEM nerd.*

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6ZTNyhjjq

The screen blurred. Suddenly obvious—*lii* was Lu Huai all along.
