In modern Chinese households or romantic relationships, the person cooking often uses playful, pseudo-military or mock-confrontational phrasing—such as 'stop resisting' or 'be good and wait to eat'—to keep their partner out of the kitchen. This conveys both a cook's lighthearted sense of control and a caring desire to pamper the other person and let them relax.
