Lifen asked curiously.Zh: “哦，我只是回来探亲，”明宇简单回答，“没想到会遇到你。”En: "Oh, I'm just back to visit family," Mingyu answered simply, "I didn't expect to run into you."Zh: “今晚你有什么计划？不如和我一起参与灯笼节的活动吧。”丽芬建议。En: "Do you have any plans for tonight? Why not join me for the Lantern Festival activities?" Lifen suggested.Zh: 明宇笑着点头。“好啊，我也想看看我错过了些什么。”En: Mingyu nodded with a smile. "Sure, I'd love to see what I've been missing."Zh: 两人一起走在灯笼下，丽芬带他去看烟火表演，品尝糖葫芦。En: The two walked together under the lanterns, and Lifen took him to see a fireworks show and taste tanghulu.Zh: 过了一个冬天的晚上，广场越来越温暖。En: As the winter evening passed, the square became increasingly warm.Zh: 偶尔的沉默，也因为这份熟悉的陪伴，变得不再尴尬。En: The occasional silence became less awkward with the familiarity of their company.Zh: 到了放灯笼的时刻，广场上的人把心愿写在灯笼上，然后轻轻松手，让它漂向夜空。En: When it came time to release the lanterns, people in the square wrote their wishes on the lanterns and then gently let them float into the night sky.Zh: “这很美，”丽芬轻声说，“每年都会有新的愿望。”En: "This is beautiful," Lifen whispered, "there are new wishes every year."Zh: “你会是什么愿望呢？”明宇好奇地问。En: "What would your wish be?" Mingyu asked curiously.Zh: 丽芬微微一笑。“希望朋友都快乐。”En: Lifen smiled slightly. "I hope all my friends are happy."Zh: 明宇心底里被触动，心愿灯初放时，空气中多了份清新的温暖，也多了份理解。En: Mingyu felt touched deep inside, and as the wish lanterns were first released, the air carried a fresh warmth and a deeper understanding.Zh: 明宇和丽芬并肩站在回家的路上。En: Mingyu and Lifen stood side by side on the way home.Zh: “以后我们一定要保持联系。”丽芬很认真地说。En: "We should definitely keep in touch from now on," Lifen said earnestly.Zh: “当然，”明宇思索着，点了点头，心中似乎放下了多年积聚的心事。En: "Of course," Mingyu pondered and nodded, seemingly letting go of many years of accumulated concerns.Zh: 夜渐深，而小镇灯光依旧闪烁。En: The night deepened...
