Even in the family pictures, Shi Lingyan's face lacked any real smile, having at most a shallow, barely noticeable curve.
Shi Mei flipped through the photos and suddenly spotted one that caught her eye.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman, standing together.
It was in this photo that Shi Lingyan's face finally broke into a rare smile.
Although the smile wasn't big, it was profound, radiating joy that couldn't be contained even by a soulless photograph.
He wore a black T-shirt in the summer heat, and black trousers below, his simple outfit perfectly outlining his figure, with a strong-willed woman standing by his side, looking forward.
Without any deliberate poses, this casual shot successfully captured the sense of happiness between them.
That year, she was 23, and he was 24.
Looking at the photo, Shi Mei couldn't help but gently trace her fingers over it, her lips curving up slightly.
