Long explanation:

The Mandarin Chinese word '正巧 (zhèngqiǎo)' is used when you want to convey the sense of a situation occurring coincidentally or something happening just at the right timing. It's equivalent to saying 'coincidentally' or 'just in time' in English. Usually, it's used for unexpected but well-timed events.
