WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“I got caught red-handed, but there is no way I'm admitting I followed you.”
💡 Cultural Insight: 'si ya zi zui ying' (stubborn denial) / finding a face-saving way out ('zhao tai jie')

When caught red-handed or called out on the spot, people instinctively make excuses (such as 'just passing by' or 'by coincidence') to superficially deny wrongdoing, driven by pride or a desire to dodge blame.
