Despite the dim lighting, the three of them could see it very clearly: it was a family photo of Xiaoya's family. The photo was a little yellowed, but everyone had a happy smile on their face.
Xiaoya followed the three people's gazes and saw the photo. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she silently held them back.
Xiaoya's grandmother took out bowls and chopsticks and served food to the group. No one dared to eat until Xiaoya picked up her bowl and picked up some food. Only then did the three of them start eating.
