Late night.
A desk lamp in a quiet study.
The height of the chair was not very suitable. Gu Weijing simply stood by the table and carefully carved the wood in front of him.
The light shines on the mirror-like metal blade, creating an ever-changing stream of light on the surface of the tea mound.

Chapter 630: Carved Chrysanthemum
In the study room late at night, there was only one desk lamp quietly emitting a gentle light. Gu Wei stood beside the table, concentrating on carving the wood in his hands.
He carefully controlled the knife in his hand to carve out the shape of the chrysanthemum bit by bit. The wood has a soft luster under the light, as if it will bloom with vibrant flowers at any time.
Gu Wei's brows furrowed slightly and he concentrated on observing the texture of the wood to find the best carving angle. His technique is skillful and precise, and every movement reveals his profound knowledge of this craft.
As time goes by, the outline of a chrysanthemum gradually appears on the wood. The texture of the petals is so lifelike that it looks like it will be blown by the breeze at any time. Gu Wei stopped what he was doing from time to time and looked at his work carefully to look for areas that could be improved.
His heart is filled with love and persistence for this work. This is not only a beautiful carving, but also his pursuit and accumulation of this skill for many years. Every sculpture is a dialogue between him and himself and his unremitting exploration of beauty.
Time passed minute by minute but Gu Wei did not feel tired at all. On the contrary, his heart was filled with unprecedented excitement and satisfaction. He seemed to be in a unique time and space, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world. Only he and the wood in his hands were left.
Suddenly a faint sound interrupted his concentration. Gu Wei looked up and found that the window was already turning white. It turns out that the night has passed and the sky is getting slightly brighter.
He put down the knife in his hand and stretched, feeling that all the muscles in his body were aching. But his face was filled with a satisfied smile. He slowly walked to the window and opened the curtains to let the morning sunlight shine into the study.
The world outside is waking up. Birds are chirping happily and leaves are rustling in the breeze. Gu Wei took a deep breath and felt the fresh air filling his lungs, and his heart seemed to be cleansed.
He turned around and looked at the wood carving on the table again. The chrysanthemums are more vivid under the morning light, as if they will bloom at any time. Gu Wei stretched out his hand and gently touched the surface of the wood carving, feeling its warmth and smoothness.
This work is not only a beautiful carving, but also his persistence and pursuit of this skill for many years. Every sculpture
is a dialogue between him and himself and his unremitting exploration of beauty.
He took a deep breath and felt the inner peace and contentment. The night's hard work had not been in vain as he had completed the piece and was extremely proud of it.
Gu Wei gently placed the wood carving into a delicate wooden box and carefully closed the lid. he knows this pieceIt will become his most precious collection
Gu Wei carefully put the wood carving into the wooden box and closed the lid. He stared at this beautiful work with satisfaction and pride in his heart.
He gently stroked the surface of the wooden box and felt its warm texture. This is not only a sculpture but also the culmination of his persistent pursuit of this skill for many years.
Gu Wei turned around and walked to the window and opened the curtains to let the morning sunlight shine into the study. The world outside is waking up, with birds chirping happily and leaves rustling in the breeze. He took a deep breath and felt the fresh air filling his lungs, and his heart seemed to be cleansed.
He walked back to the table and carefully put the wooden box into a hidden drawer. The piece meant so much to him that he didn't want anyone to disturb its peace.
Gu Wei sat back on his chair and looked out the window at the gradually brightening sky. His heart was filled with peace and contentment. The night's hard work had not been in vain as he had completed the piece and was extremely proud of it.
He knew this piece would become his most prized collection. It not only represents his love and pursuit of this craft but also witnesses his growth and transformation on this path.
Gu Wei smiled slightly and stood up and walked out of the study. He needs to take a good rest to gather strength for the next creation. But new inspirations have sprouted in his heart, waiting for him to explore and realize them.
After Gu Wei left the study, he went to the kitchen to make a cup of hot tea to relieve the fatigue of a sleepless night. After drinking tea, he walked to the yard and took a deep breath of fresh air.
The sun shines warmly and comfortably on his face. He walked slowly along the path admiring the various flowers and plants blooming in the yard. The chrysanthemums were particularly dazzling in the sun, as if waving to him.
Gu Wei couldn't help but approach the cluster of chrysanthemums and reached out to gently touch their delicate petals. These chrysanthemums are undoubtedly his favorite subject these days and what he has always wanted to portray perfectly.
He recalled the scene of concentrating on carving in the study room last night and couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. The process of talking to wood and exploring beauty made him feel unprecedentedly excited and happy.
Gu Wei decided to return to the study to continue his creation
Creation. He couldn't wait to materialize the inspirations in his mind and transform them into more exquisite sculptures.
When he opened the door to the study, sunlight poured into the room, giving the entire space a warm and peaceful atmosphere. He walked to the table and carefully took out the wooden box hidden in the drawer to admire last night's masterpiece again.
This work is not only a beautiful sculpture but also the culmination of his persistent pursuit of this skill for many years. Every sculpture is a dialogue between him and himself and his unremitting exploration of beauty.
Gu Wei took a deep breath and felt the inner peace and satisfaction. He carefully put the wooden box back into the drawer, turned around and walked to the window to start thinking about the design of the next work.
He knows this is just his creationA small milestone on the road. There are more possibilities waiting for him to explore and realize in the future. But no matter what, he will continue to be immersed in this skill and constantly pursue higher realms.
Gu Wei stood by the window and stared at the scenery outside, his thoughts racing. He already has some new creative inspiration and is carefully conceiving the design of the next work.
He turned and walked back to the table, picked up a pen and began to sketch out a preliminary sketch on the paper. Chrysanthemums are still his theme, but this time he wants to try some new ideas to make his works more varied and layered.
Gu Wei carefully described the shape and texture of the petals, sometimes frowning and thinking, and sometimes swiping his pen to outline the lines smoothly. His eyes are focused and determined, as if he can see the final product through the paper.
Gradually a lifelike chrysanthemum appeared on the paper. Gu Wei nodded with satisfaction and began to think about how to transform this design into a three-dimensional sculpture. He knows it takes a lot of skill and patience but that's what he enjoys the most.
He stood up and walked to the locker and took out a brand new piece of wood. It is a fine, beautifully grained wood perfect for carving detailed floral pieces. Gu Wei carefully placed it on the table and began to carefully measure the dimensions and plan the steps for engraving.
A surge of excitement surged in his heart. He couldn't wait to start realizing the ideas in his mind bit by bit. This is not only a work but also his unremitting pursuit of this skill and his continuous exploration of beauty.
Gu Wei picked up the knife, took a deep breath and began to carve carefully. His technique is skillful and precise, and every movement reveals his profound knowledge of this craft. As time goes by, the outline of a chrysanthemum gradually appears on the wood, as if a vibrant flower will bloom at any time.
