Work Text:
Today was a sad day at Time Photo Studio. Lu Guang was alone managing the store, but there was no customer to keep him busy. Outside the window, the sky was gray, or at least that's what Lu Guang guessed, because he wasn't able to see it. A sad fog was covering everything, no wonder people preferred staying at home. Lu Guang had already spent all his morning cleaning camera objectives, and he was now bored.
Cheng Xiaoshi, who normally kept him entertained even during off-peak times, was outside shopping for things for the store. The white-haired man didn't even know what, after all, he felt like nothing was missing when he checked the studio this morning. Qiao Ling wasn't here either, but nothing out of the ordinary, she had better things to do than staying in an empty and boring shop.
Since no one seemed to be willing to visit the shop today, Lu Guang took one of his usual books and started to read. Qiao Ling would probably tell him that it was rude, but there was no customer, and actually, she was out so, how would she know?
Even if he was bored to death, Lu Guang was actually glad his life was peaceful. An empty shop meant no commission, which resulted in no time travel, and then no Cheng Xiaoshi being reckless and putting himself in danger. If the price were waiting all day for a customer who would never come, Lu Guang would willingly pay it.
Hours after, the shop door finally opened, and a lively Cheng Xiaoshi came in.
"Hi Lu Guang ! 're you hungry ? I bought something to eat !"
He showed his friend a white plastic bag, from which came a nice spicy smell.
"I ran into Qiao Ling, she said she'll be back with bubble teas soon !"
He paused, then added :
"So, any customer ?"
Lu Guang sighed but followed him to the living room. Outside, the fog was no more and made way for some nice sun rays.
