Zh: “我应该告诉智吗？”丽娜心想。
En: "Should I tell Zhi?" Lina thought.

Zh: 她知道智喜欢以传统的方式处理事务，他可能会对这封信不以为然。
En: She knew Zhi liked to handle things traditionally and might dismiss the letter.

Zh: 然而，她心中的渴望强烈，想用这封信在即将到来的展览中展示一些新意。

Zh: 这时，凯偶然路过，看到丽娜脸上的困惑神情。

Zh: 丽娜犹豫了一下，然后把信给凯看。
En: Lina hesitated for a moment, then showed the letter to Kai.

Zh: 凯读完后，眼中闪过一丝激动：“这可能是个突破！我们应该将它展示给公众。”
En: After reading it, a flicker of excitement appeared in his eyes: "This could be a breakthrough! We should present it to the public."

Zh: 丽娜的心在动摇。
En: Lina's heart wavered.

Zh: 智可能会反对，但凯的话让她有种不想错过的冲动。
En: Zhi might oppose it, but Kai's words sparked a desire not to miss this opportunity.

Zh: 丽娜最终选择去见智，带着这封信。
En: Lina ultimately chose to meet with Zhi, bringing the letter with her.

Zh: 智仔细阅读后，脸色凝重。
En: Zhi read it carefully, his expression grave.

Zh: “丽娜，我担心这会影响整个展览的主题，”他说。
En: "I'm concerned it might affect the entire theme of the exhibition," he said.

Zh: “有时，过于激进并不好。”
En: "Sometimes, being too radical isn't good."

Zh: 丽娜感到不知所措。
En: Lina felt bewildered.

Zh: 她尊敬智，但也逐渐被凯的勇气感染。
