After dinner, at the children's playground.
Tongtong let loose and had an absolute blast.
Zhang Yang had no idea why he seemed so approachable now. Several children at the playground mistook him for their father, while a few young mothers blushed as they stole glances at him and quietly corrected their children's forms of address.
