In the quiet hours of early morning, 'Time Studio' was a haven of calm. Lu Guang, pale-haired and composed, sat on the sofa absorbed in a magazine. In the adjoining room—their shared bedroom—Cheng Xiaoshi lay asleep. His scruffy black hair and slender frame were still, deep in rest. This twenty-two-year-old, impulsive and able to leap through time via photographs, was the polar opposite of his partner. They were like brothers, two halves of a whole: Guang the mind, Xiaoshi the action. The studio waited for new clients, but for now there was only peace, holding its breath until Xiaoshi woke to plunge them all back into time's whirlwind.
