傍晚，北风呼啸，冬夜的寒意笼罩着整个城镇。

In the evening, the north wind howled, and the chill of the winter night enveloped the entire town.

空气中弥漫着安静茶屋的清香。

The air was filled with the tranquil aroma of the Anjing teahouse.

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。

The wooden walls glowed softly under the gentle lantern light, and the light clinking of teacups added a sense of tranquility to the place.

礼云是安静茶屋的主人。

Liyun is the owner of the Anjing teahouse.

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。

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.

她不想让这份忧虑打破茶屋的平和，也不想让朋友担心。

She doesn't want this worry to disrupt the peace of the teahouse or to make her friends concerned.

于是，她选择隐藏。

So she chooses to hide it.

珍是礼云多年的好友。

Zhen has been Liyun's friend for many years.

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。

Their years of friendship give her the intuition that Liyun is holding something back, but she doesn't know exactly what it is.

她总是细心观察，试图找出礼云异常的原因。

She is always observant, trying to find out the reason for Liyun's unusual behavior.

另一边，明是茶屋的常客，

On the other hand, Ming is a regular customer at the teahouse.

他喜欢这里的宁静氛围，也享受观察礼云和珍之间的互动。

He enjoys the tranquil atmosphere here and also enjoys observing the interaction between Liyun and Zhen.

他未曾知道他们之间的暗流，只是静静地品茶，用心感受。

He is unaware of the undercurrents between them, simply sipping his tea quietly, feeling with his heart.

一天晚上，珍终于忍不住了。

One evening, Zhen could no longer hold back.

她看着礼云，问道：“礼云，你最近好吗？你看起来有些疲惫。”

She looked at Liyun and asked, "Liyun, how have you been lately? You seem a bit tired."

礼云专注地为她斟了一杯新泡的茉莉茶，手微微颤抖。

Liyun attentively poured her a cup of freshly brewed jasmine tea, her hand slightly trembling.

礼云沉默了一会儿。

Liyun was silent for a while.

冬日的风从窗外轻轻吹过，她感觉到内心的挣扎。

The winter wind blew gently from outside the window, and she felt her inner struggle.

她懂得珍的关心是真实的，也懂得自己该如何选择。

She understood that Zhen's concern was genuine, and she knew how she should choose.

“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。”

"Zhen," she began to say, her voice calm but tinged with a slight tremor, "I have something I want to tell you."

她将自己的手覆在珍的手上，缓缓吐露出心中的秘密。

She placed her hand over Zhen's and slowly revealed the secret in her heart.

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。”

In this warm and serene atmosphere, Zhen listened quietly, gently hugged her, and softly said, "We will face it together."

礼云的眼泪在眼眶里打转，但心里有了一丝温暖的力量。

Tears welled up in Liyun's eyes, but she felt a warm strength inside.

在旁的明，默默地观察着。

Ming, observing from the side, silently admired the power of friendship.

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。

Without many words, it can provide so much support and warmth.

从那天起，礼云不再独自承受痛苦。

From that day on, Liyun no longer bore the pain alone.

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。

She discovered that sharing did not make her vulnerable; instead, it made her life richer and her friendships deeper.

冬夜的茶屋依旧宁静，却充满了新的生机与勇气。

The teahouse on the winter night remained tranquil, yet it was filled with new vitality and courage.
