WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Don't treat me like a stranger; you don't need to thank me.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Jianwai (Treating Someone as an Outsider)

Over-politeness or saying thank you too formally among familiar Chinese peers can be perceived as distancing, so brushing it off reaffirms Closeness.
