WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You're really being nosy, back off and mind your own business!”
💡 Cultural Insight: Playful Boundary-Setting Around Prying

In close Chinese social circles, nosy questions about relatives or relationships are common; using lighthearted, self-referential banter allows one to establish boundaries without escalating into genuine conflict.
