"Guaxi xi" is usually a state caused by saying something wrong, doing something wrong or being scared.
This word comes from the description in A Dream of Red Mansions. In the book, a maid accidentally broke a decoration because she lifted a bottle, which caused the dissatisfaction of the protagonist Miaoyu. At this point, the servant girl stammered because she had to explain, and her face changed greatly, which made her look very embarrassed. In the book, "Guaxi xi" is used to describe her state at that time.
So, now we can also use the adjective "sleepy" to describe someone's embarrassing situation. For example, when a person is laughed at for saying something wrong, we can say that he is "standing there with a melon" to express his embarrassment and discomfort at that time.
