Origin Story
从前，村里有个小伙子名叫阿牛，他性格内向，不太爱说话。一天，村里来了个说书先生，讲的故事妙趣横生，吸引了很多人。阿牛也挤进去听，但说书先生讲到精彩之处，突然停下来，问大家：“你们说，这故事怎么样？”其他人纷纷赞叹，只有阿牛爱理不理的，一声不吭。说书先生见此，便不再理会他，继续讲故事。阿牛虽然没有回应，但心里却在默默地欣赏着精彩的故事。后来，阿牛的故事传开了，人们开始用“爱理不理”来形容那些对人冷漠、态度傲慢的人。
Once upon a time, there was a shy young man named An Niu in a village. One day, a storyteller came to the village, whose stories captivated everyone. An Niu listened, but when the storyteller asked for a reaction, An Niu remained silent. The storyteller ignored him and continued. Although An Niu didn't respond, he enjoyed the story. Later, his story became famous, and "àilǐbùlǐ" is used to describe people who are cold and arrogant towards others.
