I tried a lot, and only find the following code snippet does the trick:
(defun xah-insert-bracket-pair (LBracket RBracket WrapMethod)
"Insert brackets around selection, word, at point, and maybe move
cursor in between.
LBracket and RBracket are strings. WrapMethod must be either `line'
or `block'. `block' means between empty lines.
• if there is a region, add brackets around region.
• If WrapMethod is `line', wrap around line.
• If WrapMethod is `block', wrap around block.
• if cursor is at beginning of line and its not empty line and contain
at least 1 space, wrap around the line.
• If cursor is at end of a word or buffer, one of the following will happen:
xyz▮ → xyz(▮)
xyz▮ → (xyz▮) if in one of the lisp modes.
• wrap brackets around word if any. e.g. xy▮z → (xyz▮). Or just (▮)

Based on the above document, I've added the following hook entry in
AUCTeX's use-package configuration:
(LaTeX-mode . (lambda () (set (make-local-variable 'TeX-electric-math)
(cons "$" "$"
But I still cannot observe the desired behavior, as shown in the
attached screenshot.

I believe you want to look at `TeX-electric-math'
(https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/Quotes.html#index-TeX_002delectric_002dmath):
--8<---cut here---start->8---
TeX-electric-math is a variable defined in ‘tex.el’.
Its value is ("\\(" . "\\)")
Original value was nil
Local in buffer foo.tex; global value is nil
If non-nil, when outside math mode ‘TeX-insert-dollar’ will
insert symbols for opening and closing inline equation and put
the point between them. If there is an active region,
‘TeX-insert-dollar’ will put around it symbols for opening and
closing inline equation and keep the region active, with point
after closing symbol. If you press ‘$’ again, you can toggle
between inline equation, display equation, and no equation.
If non-nil and point is inside math mode right between a couple
of single dollars, pressing ‘$’ will insert another pair of
dollar signs and leave the point between them.
If nil, ‘TeX-insert-dollar’ will simply insert "$" at point,
this is the default.
If non-nil, this variable is a cons cell whose CAR is the string
to insert before point, the CDR is the string to insert after
point. You can choose between "$...$" and "\(...\)".
Automatically becomes buffer-local when set.
You can customize this variable.

Convert bla to $bla$ automatically when be highlighted and typeset a $.
Hi here, I want to convert `bla` to `$bla$` automatically when be highlighted and typeset a `$'. Currently, my observed result is `bla$$`, which is not consistent with the LaTeX math environment.
