The old man lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Wei Lingnan lit a cigarette. He was smoking in the laboratory for the first time. He slowly breathed out a cigarette ring, and asked the old man, "Why aren't you talking? Do you think I'll fail again?"
"I won't dare to," said the old man carefully. "You will succeed."
Mr. Wei was a very generous employer who took very good care of the old man's wives and children. In fact, every employee working here and their families all had a good life, far better than anyone outside. Mr. Wei was only sensitive and moody towards experimental issues. Those who had offended him disappeared silently and no one saw them again.
Wei Lingnan looked at Xia Yingluo for a long time across the glass cover.
"She dreamt," he said to the old man.
