Zh: 他热情地打招呼：“你要一起吗？这里风景很好。”

Zh: Meilin犹豫了一下，但还是同意了。
En: Meilin hesitated for a moment but agreed.

Zh: 一路上，Guang谈起他的旅行经历，分享他在世界各地的见闻。

Zh: 晚上，他们参加了中国新年的灯笼点灯仪式。
En: In the evening, they participated in a Chinese New Year lantern lighting ceremony.

Zh: 这个仪式在白雪覆盖的山谷中特别梦幻。
En: The ceremony was particularly dreamlike in the snow-covered valley.

Zh: 看着满天的灯笼飞向天空，Guang柔声问：“你看起来有心事，愿意说说吗？”
En: Watching the lanterns fly into the sky, Guang softly asked, "You seem preoccupied; would you like to talk about it?"

Zh: Meilin犹豫了一下，但被这美妙的氛围鼓励着，她说起自己最近的心碎经历，过去那种孤独感。
En: Meilin hesitated for a moment, but encouraged by the wonderful atmosphere, she spoke about her recent heartbreak and past feelings of loneliness.

Zh: Guang听得专注，不时点头。
En: Guang listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

Zh: “谢谢你愿意分享。”Guang说，“有时候旅行不仅是看风景，也是为了找到自己。”
En: "Thank you for sharing," Guang said, "Sometimes travel is not just about seeing landscapes, but also about finding yourself."

Zh: Meilin明白，不仅仅是风景让她重新振作，还有新的朋友和未来的希望。
En: Meilin realized that it wasn't just the scenery that revitalized her, but also the new friends and the hope for the future.

Zh: 在回家的路上，Meilin看着窗外的雪景，心中感受到一种新的温暖。
En: On the way home, Meilin looked at the snowy landscape outside the window, feeling a new warmth in her heart.

Zh: 她知道，自己的心已经准备好迎接新的开始，新的友情，甚至新的爱情。
