Gellin walked out of the counter, holding the remuneration he had just received in his hand, and a long-lost sense of accomplishment surged in his heart. Facing the challenges of life, he often felt physically and mentally exhausted, but every successful task made him feel that his efforts were worth it. In his joy, the figure of Nas flashed in his mind. She has grown up now and seems to have become more intelligent and independent.

"Gerlin, come and look! I just found some super cool information on the Internet, you will definitely be interested in it!" Nas shouted excitedly at home. The curtains in her room were half-lifted, and a faint light shone through, illuminating her focused face.

Gerlin was slightly startled, then walked towards Nas's room, opened the door, and saw a room full of books and an open notebook on her desk. The pages were filled with notes, and it was obvious that she was busy with a project again.

"Oh, what are you doing?" Gerling asked, walking closer and flicking on her headphones, which she had tossed aside. "This looks pretty complicated."

"This is my history project. The teacher asked us to research the life of a historical figure, and I chose Leonardo da Vinci," Nas said excitedly, with a gleam in her eyes. She stopped writing and turned her head to look at her father carefully, as if she wanted to find inspiration from him.

"Leonardo da Vinci? Wow, that's a good choice." Gelling secretly admired his daughter's idea. "He is not only a painter, but also an inventor. Many people know his "The Last Supper" and "Mona Lisa". How are you going to write about it?"

"I want to explore the relationship between his art and science," Nas counted on her fingers, looking a little nervous. "He not only paints, many of his designs have had a profound impact on later technology!"

"That's a very deep subject," Gelling smiled as he sat at her desk. "Do you remember when I took you to the museum to look at those paintings when you were a child?"

Nas lowered her head and thought, then smiled and said, "Of course I remember. At that time, you always said that the story in the painting was very interesting, and I went out of my way to look for those details. However, now I want not only the story, but also the facts and the meaning behind it."

"You have really grown up." Gerlin shook his head with emotion, feeling a little proud. "The little girl who was full of thoughts and enthusiasm has become a young person with independent ideas. You have worked hard in your studies during this period, right?"

"Yes, it's tiring sometimes, but I don't think it's in vain." Nasi said, with a smile on her face, "Just like everything you do outside, Dad, you are working hard for a better life for us."

"Everything I have done is worth it." Gerlin felt warm in his heart. He grabbed Nas's hand and asked, "Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"I want to be someone who can change the world, just like you." Nas answered firmly, with a hint of determination in her voice.

Gerling's heart was filled with ripples, and he recalled his dreams when he was young. He had hoped to become a writer, write about the various aspects of life, and influence others through his writing. But the burden of life gradually suppressed his dreams, leaving only reality and responsibility. On this quiet night, looking at Nas sitting in front of him, her words stirred waves in his heart.

"If you want to change the world, you must read a lot of books and absorb all kinds of knowledge," Gelling encouraged. "Whatever path you choose in the future, as long as it is what you love, pursue it."

Nas nodded seriously, her eyes determined: "I will work hard to make myself better. I hope to live up to my father's expectations no matter what."

"That's right. Expectations are not only responsibilities, but also pursuits." Gerling's voice sounded particularly warm and firm in the night.

A burst of light music came from Nas's headphones, interrupting their conversation. She quickly pressed the play button, and a soft melody rang out in the room. Gerling's heart moved, and he asked, "Is this your favorite song? Let me listen to it."

Nas turned around, a hint of disdain in her smart eyes: "This is not a random song! This song is about dreams and the pursuit of freedom. The lyrics are very interesting. You should listen to it!"

Gerlin raised his lips slightly and nodded, feeling deeply: his daughter always had a way to astonish him. She was still the energetic girl, but now she had a more mature temperament. He thought of the dreams he had woven when he was young, and also thought of the coming tomorrow.

"Nas," Gerlin paused suddenly, with a serious look in his eyes, "No matter how hard the road ahead is, remember to always keep your love for life, so that you can find happiness."

"I will, Dad," Nas responded, and the smile on her face seemed to grow even brighter.

As time passed, the night outside the window became darker, and the conversation between Gerlin and Nas continued in warmth and harmony.

"By the way, how is your work lately? Have you encountered anything interesting?" Nas asked curiously, with anticipation gleaming in her eyes.

"Oh, it's work." Garlin smiled. "This mission was quite difficult, involving some complicated transactions. But in the end, it was successful. But sometimes I always wonder, can such a job really make me happy?"

"But you always take everything seriously, and that's enough." Nas' voice was as warm as the spring breeze. "I believe that no matter what you do, as long as you do it wholeheartedly, you will get the results you want."

Garlin sighed softly: "Yes, but sometimes I worry that there will be a huge hole at the end of this road."

"Why worry? Dad, you've been teaching me to pursue my dreams, and you've been doing the same thing yourself." Nasi opened her eyes wide. "Maybe, work doesn't necessarily make you happy, but it can support you in pursuing the things that make you happy!"

Gerling was moved by his daughter's logic, like a stream of clear spring water flowing into his heart. He puffed up his chest slightly, determined not to be suppressed by the burden of life. It was time to take a step forward and pursue the long-forgotten dream.

"Nas, you are such a smart girl." Gerling couldn't help but praise, "You remind me a lot of how I felt when I was young. Maybe it's time to start some projects again and try to do what I've always wanted to do."
