WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“They used to be inseparable best friends, which makes what happened to them now even harder to believe.”
💡 Cultural Insight: guimi (female best friends)

Originally referring to 'intimate friends of the boudoir', in modern Chinese this specifically denotes women who share everything and have an exceptionally close bond. If such a friendship falls apart, it often evokes significant emotional shock and wistful sorrow in Chinese social contexts.
