WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Aren't you trying to watch your weight? You really shouldn't be eating dinner.”
💡 Cultural Insight: guo wu bu shi (not eating after noon)

Originating from Buddhist monastic rules, this practice is often adopted by modern young people as an extreme intermittent fasting diet. In context, it reflects contemporary Chinese urbanites' anxiety and playful self-mockery regarding figure management and dietary restraint.
