Direct spoken expression in this communicative setting.

💡 Cultural Insight: Polite Offers and Routine Refusals

In Chinese social interactions, offering to see someone off or give them a ride ('song') shows warmth and care, while the recipient will often reflexively decline ('no need') to avoid troubling the other person.
