Don't pretend you don't know me - I heard you're going to team up with him?

**Me, Jiang Tang.** I was thriving in the literature club—*until* the dean dropped this bomb:

*"With grades like yours, you should contribute to the STEM competition too."*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZV6kUiupy

My world collapsed. *Can't I just slack in peace?*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYlDFB2AfR

*"There's a science competition coming up. Perfect—you and Lu Huai can team up."*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldF96Td5GU

I was about to refuse... *but wait—Lu Huai?!* Up-close view of the campus heartthrob? *Sign me up.*

After school, I exited the library to find Lu Huai waiting at the door.

*OS: He can't be here for me... Right? Though I do see him haunt this place often.*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9vrX2KOnN

*"Jiang Tang."*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcgKcMHMuY

I froze. *He was.*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHREPYOiI7

*"Teachers assigned us as partners."*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXYohMJ8Lw

*"...Oh."* I met his gaze, feigning calm. *"So you came to fetch me?"*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKKBrMnKaN

No denial.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrjChMOIQC

*"I reviewed the materials."* He paused. *"You draft faster. Let's finish tonight."*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvKMz5T0wW

*"You write too?"* I arched a brow. *"Thought you only brainstormed."*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriblDi1Vap

Instead of answering, he tilted his head slightly and murmured:

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcmblhbsSV

*"You hate noise, don't you?"*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ5kGnYntw

For a heartbeat, I *swore* he knew—as if he'd memorized my pet peeves without me ever speaking them aloud.

10 PM again. I opened my novel's comment section to update.

That familiar username already topped the thread:

**[lii]:** *"Met your story's male lead today? He seemed... quiet."*

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmQPepRAQR

My finger hovered over the screen for five full seconds.

*OS: WHO IS THIS PERSON?! Stalking me?! Just you wait till I unmask you—*
