Xiao Jiu said to herself, "Sister Xue Li, you and Brother Wei are friends, so can you help me win him over?"
Su Xueli looked at her tomboyish little cousin in disbelief and said, "Xiao Jiu, you're still a child, while he's much older than you."
"So what? It's good for men to be older. I like older men."
Su Xueli: "..."
"Oh, Sister Xue Li, will you agree or not? I've been following you around since I was little, I consider you my own sister, you have to help me." She shook Su Xue Li and acted coquettishly.
Su Xueli asked her, "Didn't you just say you had a boyfriend?"
Xiao Jiu turned her face away: "We're not married yet, so you can change partners anytime."
"Are you that good?"
"Hmm, what's wrong with that?"
Su Xueli nodded: "Yes, it's not bad. But, your Brother Wei is not easy to win over. Will he like a little girl like you?"
"Not necessarily, I don't think Brother Wei dislikes me." Xiao Jiu confidently touched her braid.
Su Xueli shrugged: "Then you can give it a try, but how can I help you?"
Xiao Jiu chuckled and said, "Just play along with my act. For example, if I say I can make dumpling soup, and I can't, you can make it for me and say I did."
Su Xueli nodded: "Sure, sure. Is there anything else?"
Xiao Jiu said, "Of course! From now on, just agree with whatever I say and praise me in front of him. I have all the good things about me. Oh, you're so smart, just be flexible."
Su Xueli chuckled and said, "Okay."
I thought to myself, "Little girl, I'll let you hit a wall and you'll see. You still want to play the high-end game?"
She instructed Xiao Jiu: "Hurry up and start the fire, I've got everything ready, just throw in the dumplings once the water boils."
"Hey, hey, hey." She hurriedly sat down under the stove to light the fire.
Then, while tending the fire, they inquired about Wei Mingshen, trying to gain a thorough understanding of his situation and achieve victory in every battle.
Su Xueli had no choice but to make her face reality, "Do you know where he went when he went out just now?"
Xiao Jiu asked, "Where did you go?"
"He went to see Secretary Lin's daughter."
Xiao Jiu looked utterly devastated: "Are they alright? Haven't they broken up?"
Su Xueli said, "They love each other deeply, how could they just break it off like that?"
Xiao Jiu gritted her teeth and said, "Then I have to give it a try. Maybe I can defeat that Miss Lin."
Su Xueli laughed, "Okay, give it a try and see if you can win over your Brother Wei."
He joked, "If you can win him over, he'll be my brother-in-law. That would be great."
They started throwing the dumplings into the pot. Xiao Jiu instructed Su Xueli, who was holding the chopsticks, "Sister Xueli, throw the dumplings in evenly, make them small, and add more oil."
Su Xueli said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely make you look good. I'm a master at making dumpling soup."
Why? Because Wei Mingshen loves to drink dumpling soup. In her past life, she would try her best to make whatever he liked to eat the best, and if she didn't know how, she would learn it to make sure Wei Mingshen liked it.
"It smells so good!" Wei Mingshen exclaimed from outside.
"Hey, Sister Xue Li, hurry up and get out of here. Just tell them you were the one who started the fire and I made the dumplings." Xiao Jiu immediately jumped up from under the stove.
He snatched the spoon from Su Xueli's hand and started stirring the pot.
Su Xueli smiled and said, "Okay."
The dumpling soup was ready. As Xiao Jiu ladled some into a bowl, he called out to the outside, "Brother Wei, Sister Xue Li, time to eat! Come and try my dumpling soup!"
Su Xueli smiled and walked into the kitchen, while Wei Mingshen washed his hands and followed her in.
"Mmm, it smells delicious," he praised again.
Xiao Jiu's face was all smiles. "Brother Wei, my specialty is dumpling soup. Oh no, I'm good at everything. Tell me what you want to eat tomorrow so I can prepare."
