The handwriting is profound and timeless, and the power can be seen through the bamboo back.
At the end, a pair of nestling birds and several entwined vines are carefully carved.
"This... you carved it yourself?" Shen Yunche's eyes almost popped out.
"Lin Feng, do you still have this skill?"
"It took a lot of effort, didn't it?" Li Mu exclaimed: "This is a great thought."
Zhu Qin was also slightly moved: "The bamboo slips are a perfect match."
Lin Feng gently stroked the cold bamboo slips, his eyes gentle: "Yes. When I propose, this bamboo slip will be suspended from the drone at the end of the 'Galaxy' and delivered to me."
He looked at Shen Yunche and said, "This part is also for you to coordinate. Make sure the drone hovers stably and the bamboo slips are delivered safely."
"No problem! Guarantee a safe landing!" Shen Yunche patted his chest.
"Finally," Lin Feng took a deep breath, "the music and atmosphere of the scene. I need a piece of guqin music to float over from the waterside pavilion when the stars light up and the drone takes off. It should be ethereal and distant."
"I'll find the guqin player." Li Mu immediately responded:
"My old man knows several national treasure-level musicians. Please invite one to come out and play in a secluded place to ensure the artistic conception."
"No need." Lin Feng took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Li Mu, saying, "I played it myself, and it's already been recorded."
"Fuck?" Li Mu couldn't help but swear. He seemed to suddenly understand his father.
"When was it recorded?" Zhu Qin asked curiously.
"A few days ago." Lin Feng waved his hand.
All the details were finalized one by one, and the tea room was filled with excitement, tension and strong blessings.

In the following week, Lin Feng acted like a "spy", carrying out secret projects under Meng Qing's nose.
During the day, he and Meng Qing still led a warm life in Hangzhou, planting flowers, taking walks, reading, etc.
Everything was as normal, even more gentle and considerate than usual.
Never mention anything related to "surprises".
Meng Qing just thought that he was in a particularly good mood after returning from his trip and didn't think much about it.
Lin Feng did it quietly at night or when Meng Qing was taking a nap.
He hid in the study and secretly held a small meeting with Shen Yunche, Li Mu, and Zhu Qin, repeatedly confirming the progress and emergency plans of each link.
He watched the drone test video sent by Shen Yunche repeatedly with headphones on to confirm the light intensity and formation trajectory.
He used the excuse of attending an event, but actually drove to a quiet craft workshop in the suburbs.
Under the guidance of the master craftsman, he held his breath and used the thinnest carving knife to carve the four words "Not to be wasted in this life" on the last piece of bamboo slip.
Every cut was filled with great commitment, and it took several pieces of bamboo to finally complete it.
The carved bamboo slips were wrapped in a special velvet cloth, placed in a rosewood box, and then carefully handed to Li Mu to take away.
While accompanying Mengqing shopping, he quietly slipped to the jewelry counter while she was trying on clothes and retrieved the engagement ring that Shen Yunche had already placed there.
The ring is extremely simple in design, a platinum band with a pure and flawless pear-shaped diamond as the main stone and a few tiny sapphires inlaid on the side.
He hid the ring box in the deepest part of the bookshelf, inside the interlayer of a thick dictionary.
He even took some time to visit Lingyin Temple, where he silently prayed for everything to go well amid the lingering incense and distant bell sounds.
It's not superstition, it's just to place the heavy treasure in my heart on the tranquility of this thousand-year-old temple.
The dream is not unaware.
Occasionally, she would see Lin Feng frowning slightly at his phone, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem;
Sometimes he came home late, with a faint scent of sandalwood or pine;
When I woke up at night, I would find that the light in the attic study was still on, with a faint light coming through the crack in the door.
"What have you been busy with recently?" Meng Qing asked casually during dinner.
Lin Feng paused for a moment, then calmly added a piece of pork ribs to her bowl:
"Hmm... I'm fine. I'm sorting out the outline. It's nothing important, just..."
Lin Feng avoided her gaze and looked intently at the rice in the bowl.
Meng Qing looked at his slightly red ears, feeling somewhat puzzled, but she still chose to believe Lin Feng.
Saturday, coming.
The weather was good, with clear blue skies and warm sunshine. In the afternoon, Zhu Qin came downstairs and looked at the community construction.
"Qinqin! You're here." Mengqing came out in surprise.
Today she was wearing a light blue silk modified cheongsam dress that Lin Feng had specially chosen for her.
Her long hair was loosely tied up, pinned with a simple pearl hairpin, and she had a little makeup on.
"So beautiful!" Zhu Qin praised sincerely and took her arm affectionately:
"Let's go. Although the dinner is informal, we can't be too late."
"It's still early, let's go to Gushan first. I heard that the West Lake is especially beautiful in the evening. Let me take some great pictures of you! It would be a pity not to take pictures of your clothes!"
The reason was reasonable, and Meng Qing nodded.
Before leaving, she looked back at Lin Feng who was "pruning branches" on the balcony and said, "Are we leaving?"
Lin Feng took the flower scissors, turned around and said with a smile:
"Well, go ahead. Have fun and take some nice photos."
His eyes stayed on her for a few seconds.
Meng Qing's heart moved slightly, and she nodded and said, "I know!"
The car drove away from the yard.
Lin Feng immediately threw away the scissors, took out his phone, and issued a command to start the action:
"Attention, the target has set off! Act according to the plan!"
His heart began to beat uncontrollably.
On the other side, Zhu Qin's car was driving steadily on the road around the lake.
She was chatting happily with Mengqing.
The car finally stopped at a secluded waterside platform at the back foot of Gushan Mountain.
At this time, the sun is setting, and the golden afterglow is spreading over the lake, making the waves sparkle.
"It's so beautiful here!" Zhu Qin pulled Meng Qing out of the car.
"Hurry, take a few more pictures while the light is good!" She took out a professional camera and directed Meng Qing to pose.
Meng Qing was attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her and relaxed. Following Zhu Qin's camera, her skirt fluttered in the evening breeze.
While taking pictures, Zhu Qin quietly kept an eye on the time and sent signals with a hidden earphone.
The setting sun sank into the mountains little by little, and the sky changed from golden red to deep sapphire blue.
At the moment when the last ray of daylight was about to disappear——
Without any warning, a tiny light appeared on the calm lake surface.
Then, the second point, the third point...
Like magic, thousands of tiny, pure white light spots lit up one after another in the dark lake!
It spreads and converges silently, forming a winding, dazzling band of light!
Starting from the direction of the distant island in the middle of the lake, it was like a galaxy left behind in the human world, extending all the way to the front of the platform where Meng Qing was standing!
“Oh my god…!”
Meng Qing was stunned by this sudden, dreamlike scene. She covered her mouth and her eyes widened instantly, filled with incredible shock!!
At the moment when she was shocked——
