不要, (one form of the) negative imperative
https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Negative_commands_with_%22buyao%22

Guardian:
不要伤害我的茜茜 (grandma saves the day)
不要拿自己的家人开玩笑 (don't make a joke of your own family)
无论你做什么决定都不要后悔，沈巍。(Kunlun being wise)

My practice:
不要吃我的栗子！
不要拉猫的尾巴，它会生你的气。
你千万不要告诉别人这个秘密。

SHL quote, this time from Chengling - and let me include Zhou Zishu's answer, to get the other negative imperative in there too:

Chengling: 当日我家出事的时候，我爹爹来不及多说什么，只叮嘱我一句话： 不要相信任何人，谁都不能信。 可是师父，温叔，我相信你们！

ZZS: 傻孩子，别急于相信任何人。

aw, even just osmosis tells me that Chengling is a sweetheart. (He benefits from having -ling on his name, making it sound like a pet name even though it's obviously not :) )
傻孩子，哈哈哈！

[trobadora]

Oh, that's a good point about how the -ing reads to us!

(He's more frequently called 傻小子. *g* And yes, he is a sweetheart!)

[nnozomi]

傻小子 lol, poor kiddo. At least it's not 臭小子。

I can never not hear Zhao Yunlan screaming that...

[nnozomi]

oh dear yes indeed (it's his version of Luke Skywalker's "NO"...)

From The Rebel, episode 7, Lan Xinjie to Chen Moqun: 你不要担心

[nnozomi]

you are making me want to go back and watch it all again, and if I do I'll want to write fic, and...不要！ ：）(要，真的要）
