WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Stop treating me like an infant, I can take care of myself!”
💡 Cultural Insight: Over-solicitude (过度关怀)

In close Chinese relationships, expressing care often involves excessive logistical fussing (like escorting adults everywhere), which frequently triggers affectionate pushback from younger parties asserting autonomy.
