WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“I'm not ready to change our relationship just yet; please don't rush me.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Transitioning from pseudo-sibling dynamic to romance

In contemporary Chinese dating culture, addressing each other as 'jie jie' (older sister) and 'di di' (younger brother) often functions as an ambiguous transitional status before becoming lovers, leading to psychological hesitation when confronted with a direct confession.
