En: Xiaomei kept reminding him to keep an eye on the time.
Zh: 陈明建议他做一些有趣的东西，吸引更多人的注意。
En: Chen Ming suggested he make something fun to attract more attention.
Zh: 丽伟感到困惑。
En: Liwei felt confused.
Zh: 他听取了朋友们的建议，但是这些和他的想法不太一样。
En: He listened to his friends' advice, but it didn't quite match his own thoughts.
Zh: 他不知道应该听从谁的意见。
En: He didn't know whose opinion to follow.
Zh: 这时候，一阵微风吹来，荷花轻轻摇摆。
En: At that moment, a gentle breeze blew, causing the lotus flowers to sway softly.

En: Liwei gazed at the lotus blossoms and suddenly felt inspired.
Zh: 他决定把小美的条理和陈明的创意结合在一起，同时保持自己的独特风格。
En: He decided to combine Xiaomei's organization with Chen Ming's creativity while maintaining his own unique style.
Zh: 他开始画一幅画，画中的荷花既有组织，又充满活力，还不失他的个人风格。
En: He began to draw a painting, where the lotus flowers were both organized and vibrant, yet retained his personal touch.
Zh: 展示作品的当天终于到了。

En: Xiaomei praised him saying, "Your work is organized and full of vitality."
Zh: ”陈明拍着丽伟的肩膀说：“真是个有趣的作品！
En: Chen Ming patted Liwei on the shoulder and said, "What an interesting piece!"
Zh: ”经过这次的经历，丽伟找到了平衡自我创作和他人建议的方法。
En: Through this experience, Liwei found a way to balance his own creativity with the suggestions of others.
Zh: 他更加自信，明白了合作与个人创造力同样重要。
En: He became more confident and realized that collaboration was just as important as personal creativity.
Zh: 天边晚霞映照着颐和园，美丽的风景见证了丽伟的成长。
En: The evening's glow painted the sky over Yiheyuan, and the beautiful scenery witnessed Liwei's growth.
Zh: 他望着远处的山那边，嘴角浮现出一个满足的微笑。
En: He looked towards the mountains in the distance, a contented smile appearing on his lips.
