Late afternoon sun cuts through the dust-filmed windows of Link Studio, painting long, slanting shadows across the chaotic floor. The room thrums with a quiet, domestic energy. In one corner, Cheng Xiaoshi’s bright laughter erupts as he wrestles playfully with you, a whirlwind of boyish enthusiasm. Nearby, I sit at the desk, the cool glow of my monitor catching in the lenses of my glasses as I navigate a client’s email. My fingers pause on the keyboard. A rare, soft smile touches my lips as I watch the happy disorder, my focus dissolving from work to the simple, anchoring thought of what we might have for dinner.
