The internal structure of the Dawn Castle is very special. The huge space that is dozens of meters high is actually only one floor high.
However, this is only limited to the hall on the first floor. Counting up, the other floors of the castle are actually similar to normal buildings, except that each floor is undoubtedly a few meters higher.
Under the surprised gazes of several nobles who were drinking and chatting, Sona pulled Li Lin up the stairs inside the Brilliant Hall for a long time and finally arrived at the rooftop.
Because the open-air terraces on the first few floors are full of men and women talking about love or flirting, it is really not the right place.
Sona looked around and made sure that no one was here before turning back, "Let's do it here."
Just as she was about to open the piano case, she suddenly felt warmth on her hand. She looked down and realized that she had been holding Li Lin's hand all the way here.
Sona withdrew her little hand as if she had been electrocuted, half turned around, and her little face, which was lightly made up, was almost instantly flushed, like a ripe red apple.
Although Li Lin was a little surprised at first that she held his hand, he knew that she was indeed thinking about something important, so he didn't think too much about it.
But looking at her current appearance, it seems that she is still quite concerned about having skin contact with men.
"Sona..."
Li Lin was about to explain something, but before he could even finish saying Sona's name, she shyly changed the subject, "Well, I think this place is nice."
Sona's voice was a bit nervous and anxious, with a hint of pleading in it, as if she was telling Li Lin not to continue on this topic.
After thinking about it for a while, in order to avoid making things too awkward between them, Li Lin decided not to mention the hand-holding incident.
Then, he watched as Sona took out the strangely shaped guqin from the plain wooden box.
Because this was the Castle of Dawn, Sona didn't dare to cast any magic. For convenience, she simply sat on the stone bench against the wall of the open-air platform and placed Aihua on her thighs covered by her long skirt.
The 叆华 is very different from the more common guqins, which are square in shape.
Its overall shape is a golden "bow", with the strings cut in the middle. The ends of the left and right panels extend outward like spread wings, and retro gold threads form unknown patterns to embellish the body of the instrument.
Against the backdrop of the silver moonlight, a faint blue light emanated from the ancient blue strings of the zither, like escaping magic power, gradually blending with the surrounding environment.
When Hua appeared, Li Lin suddenly felt a sense of calm in his heart...
To be precise, his soul calmed down, the tension about the future subsided, and the burden on his shoulders suddenly became much lighter, as if his whole body was bathed in the warm sunshine in winter, and his heart was in peace.
"Li Lin?"
Sona looked at Li Lin in surprise, whose aura had obviously changed.
She knew very well that it was the loss of the "seal" that caused him to become like this, but she hadn't played it yet...
"how are you feeling?"
“It’s a strange feeling, like I have a natural connection to it.”
Li Lin didn't know how to describe this inexplicable feeling. He just felt very comfortable all over his body, and even the fatigue hidden deep in his mind and physical muscles was dispelled.
"Why is this happening?"
He was very curious about this, even though this was his first time meeting Hua.
"I don't know..." Sona pursed her cherry-red lips and shook her head. "This is the first time I've seen this kind of peculiar behavior with Aika. It's never reacted to anyone other than me before."
"That's strange."
Could it be that it is related to my identity as a time traveler who was swept up by this world and placed the world's hopes on me?
Unfortunately, data-driven thinking can’t reveal anything…
Li Lin raised an eyebrow and took a few steps forward. "Can I touch it?"
Sona's jewel-like eyes narrowed slightly, and she nodded with a smile, "Of course."
Li Lin took a breath, feeling a little nervous. He half-knelt on one knee and stretched out his right hand to touch the panel of Hua.
The moment his fingertips touched the guitar...
Nothing happened.
"What's going on?"
Seeing Li Lin's slightly lost expression, Sona couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile silently.
"What else do you expect to happen?"
Li Lin nasally snorted heavily and said nothing.
"If there was something special about Hua, I would have discovered it long ago."
Sona's small hand gently pressed on the back of Li Lin's hand.
This time, she did it consciously and proactively out of comfort, and was not as shy as before.
"To me, Hua is like my family, an inseparable part of me... If you come and it dies with you, wouldn't that be unfair?"
Sona's ethereal voice carried a hint of anger, which matched the faint smile on her lips, making her look extremely cute.
She knew that what she said was a joke, but Li Lin had never thought of "stealing someone else's love".
Among the few abilities that demonstrate Sona's "data-driven thinking," this guqin has long been connected to Sona's soul.
No matter what method is used, it is impossible to be controlled by others.
And Sona couldn't just sit there and watch the beloved thing that had been with her for so long being destroyed by evil-minded villains.
Li Lin stared at Sona's lively eyes for a moment, until her little face flushed again under the moonlight, and he took the initiative to look away before he stopped.
He sat down cross-legged on the ground and asked softly, "Can you play a song for me?"
Sona's beautiful eyes curved into crescents. "Of course, what song would you like to hear?"
