WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You're overreacting—what are you hiding about that place?”
💡 Cultural Insight: Probing Through Mild Remarking

Rather than directly asking 'What are you hiding?', Chinese speakers frequently use neutral observations like '反应这么大呢' to point out emotional overreactions and prompt the interlocutor to explain themselves.
