Xu Donglai, having worked alongside Xu Chunliang to save Luan Yuchuan, knew that Xu Chunliang had some capability. Seeing the young man about to embarrass himself, Xu Donglai laughed and said, "Xiaoxu has had a bit too much to drink." His intention was to give Xu Chunliang an out, and if Xu Chunliang went along with it, it would easily dissolve the awkwardness from earlier.
Xu Chunliang replied, "Rest assured, Director Xu, I haven't had too much to drink. Stones in the body can be removed if the correct method is used. Foreign objects that don't affect bodily functions can coexist peacefully — you don't bother me, I don't bother you. The same goes for diseases. Some people have minor ailments yet live to a hundred. That's the rationale."
