A young painter named Xiaoyu had a unique love for painting since she was a child. She would often sit for hours, her brush dancing on the canvas, completely forgetting about time and everything around her. Once, in order to complete a large oil painting, she locked herself in her studio for several days. She worked tirelessly, even forgetting to eat. When she finally finished the work, she was exhausted, but also felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. She looked at her work, her eyes full of joy and excitement, and she seemed to be completely immersed in a state of intoxication.
