Zhang Wei’s Waters

BC 1600, China

“Tick Tack Tick Tack,” waterdrops from underneath a big jug, were dripping in a metal bowl. With each drop, the bowl slowly raised a piece of wood inside, while the bar stuck in the wood pointed to the ruler on the side of the bowl, which served as an indicator. The harmonious rise of the rod was interrupted by a sidearm blow with a “Hi-yah!” sound. The water-filled bowl hit the wall with a blow, and the water in it spread on the rush mat.

“Zhû3Zhang?” A young man dressed in black came towards the noise and felt the need to check his master.

“It’s okay, Chao Fan.” Zhang Wei got up from his seat and turned his face to Chao Fan. “It annoys me that the clock is still not how I wanted it.”

Now - since the lines of his face that turned red made it obvious that he was in a nervous breakdown within himself - Chao left the room with small steps back, realizing that he should not say any more words. “

While Zhang Wei crouched down to pick up the metal tray, unaware of Chao Fan’s absence, he kept complaining to himself, while the wood-

But it was in the middle of the night, he decided that he had to open the door himself to punish the person on the door with his recklessness in the middle of the night. Zhang Wei came out of the room with a whim and opened the door furiously. When he opened his mouth to throw out the anger that had filled his lungs, he inhaled his feelings at what he saw. A man with the hair was as red as blood on his
