WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Don't pretend you're not talking about me and Shen Xiezhi; the allusion is painfully obvious.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Calling Out Subtext (挑明)

Chinese social interactions often employ veiled innuendo, so directly cutting through the hint and naming people directly is an assertive confrontation.
