WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Thanks, but I really don't feel like changing clothes or trying that on.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Indirect Refusal (婉拒)

In Chinese social interaction, directly saying 'no' to shopping or dressing advice can seem curt, so speakers often validate their current state instead.
