Wei accepted the panda with a smile, softly saying, "Actually, being with you is more important than this panda."Zh: 连的心中充满温暖。En: Lian's heart was filled with warmth.Zh: 他意识到，虽然赢得奖品是一种成就，但最珍贵的还是与朋友在一起的时光。En: He realized that while winning a prize is a kind of achievement, the most precious thing is the time spent with friends.Zh: 夜市的喧闹声继续着，街头充满了欢声笑语，而对连来说，今晚这个夏夜却有着不同的意义。En: The noise of the night market continued, the streets filled with laughter, and for Lian, this summer night held a special significance.
