Shen Mingzhu only realized that what Pei Yang had been hiding was a family portrait when she approached closer.
The photo had been specially trimmed to two inches to fit into the plastic layer of the wallet for easy storage.
Seeing that she had discovered it, Pei Yang did not play coy and frankly passed the wallet to her to look at.
"Carrying your photo with me gives me something to think about when I'm away."
Hearing the man's words, Shen Mingzhu's eyes moistened slightly, and she couldn't help wanting to persuade him again, to give up his job as a sailor and stay at home, which might change his fate of dying young.
However, before she could speak, the telephone in the living room rang.
Pei Yang turned around to answer the call.
Shen Mingzhu composed herself, put the wallet back on the table, and as she turned around, she saw Pei Yang standing outside the door, with an expression of astonishment as if he had just experienced something earth-shattering.
