WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Don't be so formal with me; we are close enough now that thanks aren't needed.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Keqi and Jianwai (Over-politeness)

In Chinese culture, being overly formal (见外) with someone who did you a massive favor can ironically create emotional distance, so people verbally reject excessive politeness to build rapport.
