“规矩太多，没有想象的空间。”莲常常这样抱怨。

"There are too many rules, no room for imagination," Lian often complains.

尽管如此，她依然支持岳。

Nevertheless, she still supports Yue.

她知道岳真正的梦想是成为一名艺术家。

“妈妈，爸爸，”岳的声音里有些颤抖，“我真正的梦想是艺术，而不是只为成绩而学。”

"Mom, Dad," Yue's voice trembles a bit, "my true dream is art, not just studying for the sake of grades."

视频那头，父母沉默了一会儿。接着，他们微笑着说：“岳，我们只希望你快乐。追求你真正的梦想吧。”

On the other end of the video, her parents were silent for a moment. Then, they smiled and said, "Yue, we just want you to be happy. Pursue your true dreams."

这一刻，岳感到无比的解脱和自信。

At that moment, Yue felt an immense sense of relief and confidence.

而岳，也在这一刻，找到了属于自己的道路。

And Yue, at that moment, found her own path.

她明白，只有勇敢地追随自己的心，才能真正地幸福。

She understood that only by bravely following her heart can she truly be happy.

故事的结局，岳笑得比以往都灿烂。

At the story's end, Yue smiles brighter than ever before.
