After dinner, we sat idly for a while as a cool breeze blew through the window.
Mr. Lin looked out the window when suddenly a lightning bolt split the night sky, followed by a distant rumbling thunder.
"It's thundering and raining." Mr. Lin closed the window and said, "Stay another night, Yanqing. Your luggage is all ready, and there's no rush to leave; there's no need to hurry back in the rain."
No sooner had he finished speaking than, as if on cue from Mr. Lin's suggestion to stay, large raindrops began to pitter-patter down.
Wen Yanqing agreed, preparing to stay the night at the Lin family's home.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tongtong had already left the house. Lin Gantang sent a message asking Lin Zhaonan: [It's raining, has Tongtong arrived at your place yet?]
[She has.] Lin Zhaonan replied.
Relieved that she had arrived safely, Lin Gantang was about to put down her phone when the other party sent another message with a photo of the dinner Jiang Tongtong had brought over.
