爱……不……(Aì……bu……)It’s up to you
Explanation
“爱 A 不 A”是一个固定结构。说话的人一般想要对方选择A这个动作,但是对方一般没有按照说话人的意思去做,所以说话人说这句话的时候显得非常不高兴。
爱 A 不 A is a fixed structure. The speaker wants the listener to perform the action “A.” However, it is generally used when the listener has not yet done so, meaning that the speaker is very upset.
