Story Transcript:

Zh: 傍晚，北风呼啸，冬夜的寒意笼罩着整个城镇。
En: In the evening, the north wind howled, and the chill of the winter night enveloped the entire town.

Zh: 空气中弥漫着安静茶屋的清香。
En: The air was filled with the tranquil aroma of the Anjing teahouse.

Zh: 木制墙壁在柔和的灯笼光下泛出微光，茶杯的轻轻碰撞声为这个地方增添了一份宁静。
En: The wooden walls glowed softly under the gentle lantern light, and the light clinking of teacups added a sense of tranquility to the place.

Zh: 礼云是安静茶屋的主人。
En: Liyun is the owner of the Anjing teahouse.

Zh: 每天，她微笑着迎接客人，但在内心深处，她正努力平复一个秘密：她最近被诊断出心脏病。
En: Every day, she greets her guests with a smile, but deep inside, she is struggling to calm a secret: she was recently diagnosed with a heart condition.

Zh: 她不想让这份忧虑打破茶屋的平和，也不想让朋友担心。
En: She doesn't want this worry to disrupt the peace of the teahouse or to make her friends concerned.

Zh: 于是，她选择隐藏。
En: So she chooses to hide it.

Zh: 珍是礼云多年的好友。
En: Zhen has been Liyun's friend for many years.

Zh: 多年的友谊让她直觉出礼云有什么事情没有说出口，但她不知道究竟是什么。
En: Their years of friendship give her the intuition that Liyun is holding something back, but she doesn't know exactly what it is.

Zh: 她总是细心观察，试图找出礼云异常的原因。
En: She is always observant, trying to find out the reason for Liyun's unusual behavior.

Zh: 另一边，明是茶屋的常客，
En: On the other hand, Ming is a regular customer at the teahouse.

Zh: 他喜欢这里的宁静氛围，也享受观察礼云和珍之间的互动。
En: He enjoys the tranquil atmosphere here and also enjoys observing the interaction between Liyun and Zhen.

Zh: 他未曾知道他们之间的暗流，只是静静地品茶，用心感受。
En: He is unaware of the undercurrents between them, simply sipping his tea quietly, feeling with his heart.

Zh: 一天晚上，珍终于忍不住了。
En: One evening, Zhen could no longer hold back.

Zh: 她看着礼云，问道：“礼云，你最近好吗？你看起来有些疲惫。”
En: She looked at Liyun and asked, "Liyun, how have you been lately? You seem a bit tired."

Zh: 礼云专注地为她斟了一杯新泡的茉莉茶，手微微颤抖。
En: Liyun attentively poured her a cup of freshly brewed jasmine tea, her hand slightly trembling.

Zh: 礼云沉默了一会儿。
En: Liyun was silent for a while.

Zh: 冬日的风从窗外轻轻吹过，她感觉到内心的挣扎。
En: The winter wind blew gently from outside the window, and she felt her inner struggle.

Zh: 她懂得珍的关心是真实的，也懂得自己该如何选择。
En: She understood that Zhen's concern was genuine, and she knew how she should choose.

Zh: “珍，”她开始说道，声音平静但混杂着一丝颤抖，“我有件事情想告诉你。”
En: "Zhen," she began to say, her voice calm but tinged with a slight tremor, "I have something I want to tell you."

Zh: 她将自己的手覆在珍的手上，缓缓吐露出心中的秘密。
En: She placed her hand over Zhen's and slowly revealed the secret in her heart.

Zh: 在这片温暖而宁静的氛围中，珍静静地听完，轻轻拥抱了她，温柔地说道：“我们会一起面对。”
En: In this warm and serene atmosphere, Zhen listened quietly, gently hugged her, and softly said, "We will face it together."

Zh: 礼云的眼泪在眼眶里打转，但心里有了一丝温暖的力量。
En: Tears welled up in Liyun's eyes, but she felt a warm strength inside.

Zh: 在旁的明，默默地观察着。
En: Ming, observing from the side, silently admired the power of friendship.

Zh: 他心中暗暗赞叹友谊的力量，无须多言，便能给予那么多的支持与温暖。
En: Without many words, it can provide so much support and warmth.

Zh: 从那天起，礼云不再独自承受痛苦。
En: From that day on, Liyun no longer bore the pain alone.

Zh: 她发现，分享并不让她脆弱，反而使她的生活更加充实，友谊更加深厚。
En: She discovered that sharing did not make her vulnerable; instead, it made her life richer and her friendships deeper.

Zh: 冬夜的茶屋依旧宁静，却充满了新的生机与勇气。
En: The teahouse on the winter night remained tranquil, yet it was filled with new vitality and courage.
