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.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ox0I6mJ5x

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.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81D8ulAB02

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:

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidBva7UKP3

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ktJoxn4VL

Honestly, I didn't react much at first.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvOhzBWBaX

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.*

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8QWJ4tuNK

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC82dsHU4z

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9k7FHxrT0

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hWzdcuAEh

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa7FGfY3k4

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXbYTWRiM6

Then I'd wait for her edits.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvYMEaMbt9

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbAbbZHQge

Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVclUoVl12j

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

42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJzP5otViy

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