The breath of the salty sea permeates the quiet and hazy five-needle pine corridor. The incessant breeze teased the surroundings of the orange tree, brushing and stroking, as though stroking a splendid flower with discreet fingers. The sea clings passionately to its waves beside the terraced platform with the villa on it. The white brilliance reflected on the sea, dotted with the lonely gleaming sails in the distance, rose deeper and deeper into the greenery in a broad shaded courtyard, and disappeared into the weary, fairy-tale silence of the park inside.

The morning heat pressed down on the sleeping house, and a narrow, gravel path led like a white line from the house to the cool viewing deck. The waves below the stage pounded violently, crackling, and these shimmering water droplets splashed around from time to time, sparkling with diamond-like brilliance due to the harsh sunlight. Part of the gleaming sun's rays fell on the five-needle pine leaves, which were densely huddled together as if whispering; the other part was obscured by an open Japanese umbrella, fixed by harsh, uncomfortable colors on cheerful shapes.

In the shadow of this umbrella, a woman leans on a soft rattan chair. She cuddled her beautiful body comfortably in the mushy fabric. A thin, ringless hand hangs down as if forgotten, stroking a dog's shiny silky fur softly and comfortably, the other holds a book, under black eyelashes. Her dark eyes focused her attention on the book, without a moment's interruption, and there was a forbearance smile in her eyes. These were restless eyes, large, more beautiful in the dull, vague light. The strong attractiveness of the face with clear lines is not natural and harmonious, but reveals the beauty of individual parts that have been carefully groomed in a careful way. Tousled curls sparkled and fragrant, like the work of an artist. The smile of reading, revealing the white and smooth enamel of the teeth, is now a fixed, inescapable habit.

A slight rustling sounded on the gravel. She followed the sound, but her posture didn't change, like a cat bathed in the dazzling, scorching sunlight. She greeted the approaching person with piercing eyes.
