The child's parents were mortified, standing there with faces as red as a baboon's backside.
Just a moment ago, they had said they liked the smell.

'So much for a father's love being as solid as a mountain.'
Only Li Xu, who had been squatting in front of the child the whole time, showed no reaction.

"Alright, his qi is flowing freely now. Take him to rest for a bit, or have him sit on the toilet for a while. He's passing a lot of gas right now, and he'll probably have a bowel movement soon."
As if granted amnesty, the parents quickly scooped up their child and fled the consultation room.
...
The day's consultations came to an end. Li Xu's masterful medical skills and precise diagnoses were a real eye-opener for Li Lin and the other interns, whose notebooks were nearly full.
When it was time to clock out, everyone gradually packed up to leave.
