A Conjecture?

Stunned to see the excited Chen Mu, Copper poked some fun, "I hardly see you so positive as this," then clucking his cheek, "Is it a girl?" although he immediately felt the absurdity of talking like that, "You blockhead, I guess there isn't any girl who would look at you."

The ridiculous smile that Chen Mu gave Copper showed that he didn't mind. Girls? He had never considered it. He knew that he and Copper had the same attitude on that point. How would a couple of poor kids like them ever attract any girls' favor?

Although Chen Mu was anxious to be able to sell the play right away, he still hadn't gotten into the situation with Copper, and Copper could handle those things himself. 

After not more than a half hour, Copper returned and before he even entered the door was heard to excitedly shout, "Blockhead, Blockhead! Get to work! Get to work! Ha! We've hit it again!"
