The wind, a light breeze, seemed to want to blow away all the heat; unfortunately, its power was so small that it not only failed to take away the heat, but also added to the stuffiness. It was the hottest time of the summer, the time when students were on vacation, but the time when a strange school opened. Panjiva, a school located on a man-made island on the seashore, literally floating on the surface of the sea, the only city connected to it is called Xiongcheng, and many people only know these points, and then fail to reveal its more mysterious side.

The opening ceremony before the school starts its official classes, that is the homework of every panga student. For new students, the opening ceremony also represents the choice of curriculum. The Panhandle is a private school and tuition is expensive for regular students, but this full-service school with kindergarten through college prefers to net special students, who may attend for free once their specialness is determined.

Zhao Li, a fifteen-year-old girl, was the first winner of a science competition in the junior division earlier in the year, so the teachers at the Panhandle School invited her to come to the school for high school; she readily agreed when she heard that she could board at the school, looking more like she was running away from something - so today, wearing a blue suit, Zhao Li Today, Zhao Li, wearing a blue suit, appeared on the boulevard of the panhandle school.

The tinkling soft music broke the silence of the boulevard; the music was like the calm sea water washing the soft sand, like the round moon waving the hazy light, like the cool autumn breeze caressing the golden earth, the hot air disappeared without a trace at once.

The other students walking on the boulevard seemed to be deaf to this wonderful music, but Zhao Li's heart was gripped by it. Step by step, she walked towards the place where the music was coming from.

After going around a path beside the boulevard, surrounded by many shrubs, the scene in front of Zhao Li opened up, the small square pavilion with glazed tiles floating on the slightly swinging grass lake, seemingly moving, adding a strange dynamic to this quiet world. In the small ancient-style pavilion, a pair of small white hands lightly playing a delicate Western-style small harp, light golden long hair covered the player's face, Zhao Li could not distinguish the identity of the other party for a while.

The sight in front of her made Zhao Li lose her reaction for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, the person had already stopped playing the piano. She did not move, but only asked in a soft voice: "Is it Guozhi?"

As soon as Zhao Li heard the voice, she knew that the other party was a girl, but she didn't know who the person called "Guozhi" was.

While she was hesitating, the other party had realized that she was mistaken and turned her head to the strange intruder and said, "Sorry, I thought no one else could hear the music here, so ......"

"No, it's me who barged in suddenly and disturbed your fun." Zhao Li was embarrassed to bow her head and admit her mistake, and quietly peeked at the other party.

That girl did not leave her seat, nor did she put down the small harp, but leaned against the back of the chair and said, "It's okay, I just came to tune it anyway; now that it's finished, it's just a matter of trying the effect." When she moved like this, the calm and peaceful face was revealed, and the charming face showed a kind of uncontested beauty in the sunlight, and Zhao Li did not know how to describe the strange scenery in front of her.

Hearing that the girl did not blame herself, Zhao Li was relieved and took a few steps closer to the other party, taking the initiative to introduce herself before asking: "So please ......" Without waiting for her to finish, the other party made a slight movement, causing Zhao Li to have to stop.

The girl just turned back and said: "My name is Ouyang Ling, and you are in the same class. And that music just now is the first chapter of 'Heavenly Water', which has a soul-soothing tune and is my favorite part."

"'Tianshui'? Whose work is that?" Zhao Li asked strangely.

Ouyang Ling had been smiling just now, but now it turned into a big smile: "That's not the music of this world, it's the heavenly music from the sacred world, and definitely only people related to the fate of that world can hear it."

"Am I related to the destiny of the sacred world?" Zhao Li asked confusedly.

"That." Ouyang looked up at the roof of the pavilion and asked, "Can you see the movement of the wind?"

Zhao Li was even more confused, "Ha? Wind is the flow of air, and everyone knows that ordinary wind is transparent and cannot be seen with the naked eye if there are no other visible objects, and I am certainly no exception."

"Really? So you still can't see it." Ouyang Ling showed a hint of disappointment.

Now, Zhao Li was even more confused: was the girl in front of her a human or something else? Is there something mentally wrong with such unrealistic things as the sacred world hanging easily on the mouth; if so, it is a bit sad.

Just then, a tall, frowning blond boy came out of the pathway of the bushes, and from the style of his suit, it was clear that he was also a student in the high school. Ouyang Ling looked at the newcomer and said to Zhao Li, "This is my cousin - Ouyang Guozhi, I thought he was the one who came just now. Zhao Li ah, you can also say hello to him, because he is in the same class as us."

Zhao Li stiffly greeted Ouyang Guozhi, but unfortunately the man just stared at Zhao Li with a bit of anger-like, and after introducing himself briefly, he walked directly to Ling, asked a few questions in a soft voice, then put away the harp, turned around and left, and specifically instructed his cousin to follow slowly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Ouyang Ling resumed her faint smile and gently answered, slowly stood up, bowed slightly beside Zhao Li, and paced away.

When looking at Ouyang Ling up close, Zhao Li realized that her body was quite frail, a dull black spot came through on her white face, and her purplish lips seemed to foretell that this fragile life could fade away at any moment, all of which was extremely disproportionate to her beauty and elegance.

Ouyang two cousins after leaving, if a large a good place instantly became silent, only the wind is blowing kind of miserable white scenery. Zhao Li was disturbed by such an insensitive guy, made a face of confusion, but also alone there for a while. When she easily came back to her senses, she was the only one left near the pavilion.

Zhao Li suddenly remembered about the opening ceremony, so she ran through the bushes and darted towards the classroom ......
