WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“They are definitely not sleeping together; this marriage is obviously a sham.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Neighborhood Scrutiny and Marital Norms

In tight-knit Chinese residential communities, domestic details like shared beds are seen as proof of marital intimacy; deviating from this invites public gossip and suspicion of a sham marriage.
