The two women started chatting, and later, even found chairs to sit and talk.
As for the two men, they were awkwardly making conversation—thank goodness Xiao Mingming was there to ease the tension.
"Uncle, Uncle, let's catch butterflies."
Jiang Ye didn't want to continue making forced conversation:
"Sure."
So he took Xiao Mingming to catch butterflies.
As for Xiao Mingming's father, he could only silently follow.
He had been genuinely scared, almost thinking he couldn't find his child, so now he never let his child out of his sight.
Lu Jing and Mingming's mother saw that the men were handling the kids quite well.
"Let's go buy some water," suggested Mingming's mother.
Lu Jing nodded:
"Sure."
That afternoon, the two families stayed together.
By five o'clock, Daddy Mingming suggested treating Lu Jing and Jiang Ye to dinner as a gesture of thanks.
