Su Xueli showered him with compliments: "You're my strategist! Look, it was your idea to make a complete set of color illustrations for Journey to the West. It's made a huge profit compared to before!"
Wei Mingshen nodded smugly, "Well, it seems you have a good eye for quality. Then I won't be modest and will give you another suggestion."
Su Xueli looked at him and said, "Mmm, tell me quickly."
Wei Mingshen said, "He's getting on in years and still single, so he must be eager to get married. Just make up a pair of little figures for him, wishing him to find his ideal girl soon and get married forever."
Su Xueli thought for a moment and said, "That sounds good."
Wei Mingshen narrowed his eyes: "It's not only tasteful but also shows your sincerity. Moreover, your craftsmanship is so good that everyone who sees it will cherish it. It's definitely the most amazing gift today."
Su Xueli nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."
Wei Mingshen said, "Then let's start weaving in a bit, and deliver it to him as soon as possible."
Su Xueli said, "Okay, I'll make it up after we finish eating."
With this matter resolved, she felt a sense of relief and quickly finished her meal. Wei Mingshen went to cut the thatch while she tidied up the kitchen.
After she finished tidying up and feeding the dog, the two of them sat down inside to work together again. Of course, Su Xueli first made a pair of little figurines to give to He Yujie.
Wei Mingshen, while cutting the thatch, looked up at Su Xueli's hands and asked, "What kind of figures are you planning to make for the two little figures?"
Su Xueli said, "Of course, we'll make up a handsome man and a beautiful woman."
"I know, what kind of handsome men and beautiful women?"
Su Xueli said, "Since it's a gift for Teacher He, of course it should be made according to his image. He's a refined and handsome man, wearing glasses."
"Where's the woman?" he asked, staring at her.
Su Xueli tilted her head: "Well, as for a woman, of course she's a gentle and beautiful woman."
"Gentle and beautiful? Like you?"
Su Xueli looked at him: "Do you think I'm gentle and beautiful?"
Wei Mingshen raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You're both ugly and fierce."
Su Xueli glared at him: "Speak like a human!"
"You are gentle, strong, beautiful, smart, cute, and infuriating..."
"Alright, alright, that's enough." Su Xueli couldn't hide her smile.
She joked, "Why not just make it up based on my image?"
Wei Mingshen said, "Let me design a girl's image for you. Make the girl short, thin, and petite, because He Yujie is not tall, so it has to match his figure."
The girl's hairstyle—a May Fourth Movement-era hairstyle, a white shirt, a black skirt, and square-toed shoes—fits the image of a female teacher and also the image of a teacher's wife.
He's a teacher, so it would be best to arrange a teacher's wife for him.
Su Xueli glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and understood his little scheme.
But in his previous life, He Yujie lost all hope in her and then casually married a female teacher, and his life there was not good.
So, she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted him to change his fate and find a beloved girl to live a sweet life with.
She shook her head: "I can have a petite and delicate figure like you described, but I don't like this image."
Wei Mingshen looked at her: "What, what kind of girl do you want to arrange for him?"
Su Xueli said, "Let's arrange a stylish one, someone who wears a dress, has big waves in her hair, and dyes her lips red, a real modern woman."
Wei Mingshen asked, "Why? Does He Yujie have a taste for that?"
