Zh: “李华，我们周末去西湖吧！”郑伟的声音充满了兴奋和期待，“带上你的表妹梅琳，一起去感受秋天的美好。”

Zh: 微风轻抚，让李华感到无比宁静。
En: The gentle breeze brushed Li Hua's face, bringing her a deep sense of peace.

Zh: 这次旅程让她明白，过去的压力并不可怕，只要她勇敢去面对自己想要的，路自然会清晰。
En: This trip made her realize that past pressures are not frightening; as long as she courageously faced what she truly wanted, the path would naturally become clear.
