Chapter 781: Chapter 784 What Does Feeling Jealous Feel Like?_1

Zhang Miao finished speaking and proceeded to the bathroom.

She ran the warm water, laid in the tub, her hands resting on the ceramic edge, staring at the ceiling of the bathroom, gave a long sigh.

After a moment, there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Zhang Miao asked.

"Miao Miao, it’s me." Su Xiaoxi’s voice came from outside the door: "I also want to take a bath, I’m coming in."

The door to the bathroom wasn’t locked, and without waiting for Zhang Miao to respond, Su Xiaoxi opened the door.

The rustling sound of clothes being undressed came from the changing room outside the bathroom. A moment later, Su Xiaoxi came in wrapped in a bath towel.

"Hey~" Su Xiaoxi called out, one hand holding her towel, the other waving in greeting.

Zhang Miao rolled her eyes: "Showing off your body with just a B cup? Better not."

Su Xiaoxi ’resentfully’: "Miss Zhang Miao, you are declaring war on all three and a half billion women worldwide!"

Zhang Miao was taken aback, she composed herself, then chuckled: "Get in the tub, aren’t you cold outside?"

"Please, this is not Hangcheng, this is Xueji, it’s summer here." Su Xiaoxi replied.

"Oh, I didn’t notice."

Su Xiaoxi: ..

A moment later, Su Xiaoxi also lay down in the bathtub.

The bathtub was large, Su Xiaoxi and Zhang Miao laid side by side, still having plenty of room beside them.

"We haven’t bathed together for a long time." Su Xiaoxi said, her eyes closed.

Zhang Miao was still staring at the ceiling: "Indeed, we haven’t done so much since we grew up. Is it because of shyness?"

Su Xiaoxi in a cold sweat: "Please, we both have normal orientations. Don’t say such ambiguous things!"

Zhang Miao chuckled but didn’t say anything.

After a while, Su Xiaoxi opened her eyes, similarly staring at the ceiling and said softly: "Miao Miao, this is not like you."

"What?"

"I’ve known you for so many years. It’s the first time I’ve seen you so distracted. Although you have been lost before, you quickly shook it off. However, ever since you came to Xueji, no, more precisely, ever since you got pregnant, you have often been daydreaming. These past few days, it’s getting worse. What’s been bothering you?" Su Xiaoxi said softly.

"Not like me...indeed." Zhang Miao stared at the ceiling, but nothing followed.

Su Xiaoxi sighed softly: "Can’t you even share your troubles with a bestie like me? It feels, a bit, uncomfortable."

A pang of unease crossed Zhang Miao’s mind. She shifted her gaze from the ceiling to Su Xiaoxi’s face. Her lips moved for quite some time, but she only managed to say three words: "I’m sorry."

Su Xiaoxi did not say anything. After a moment, she suddenly said: "Growing up is a really annoying thing. If we could always stay in the happy youth, with no worries, no confusion, no secrets that we must keep from each other, no thoughts of falling in love with someone, how nice."

Zhang Miao was stunned, then chuckled: "Finally admitting your feelings?"

Su Xiaoxi didn’t respond directly but lightly said: "When exactly is it?"

Zhang Miao was looking at the ceiling again, lightly replied: "According to the emotions expert Ixiu. Schubert said: You do not know when the other party unknowingly put a seed in your heart, and when you noticed it, the seed of emotion has already taken root in your heart, growing and thriving, big enough to affect your feelings. This is falling in love over time. It doesn’t have the dramatic fire of love at first sight, but it’s more lasting, more precious."

Both of them wisely didn’t mention each other’s names.

After a moment of silence, Su Xiaoxi spoke again: "Miao Miao, have you ever truly loved Xiao Haotian, no, who have you truly loved?"

"None." Zhang Miao calmly said.

"Well, I heard from Feifei that you have no romantic feelings.."

Zhang Miao twitched the corner of her mouth: "That girl really can’t keep her mouth shut!"

Su Xiaoxi smiled: "Feifei is worried about you too, you have been absent-minded lately, and Xueji is still very dangerous. What if you were attacked?"

"Er..," Zhang Miao’s gaze returned to the ceiling, she said lightly: "Indeed."

She fell silent for a moment and then said softly: "According to triarchic theory of love by federal psychologist Sternberg, the three elements of love are: passion, intimacy, and commitment. And the most basic one is the passion, to be attracted by the counterpart, to want to monopolize them, which then evolves into intense emotions like jealousy. But I don’t have these feelings."

Zhang Miao paused for a moment, turned her head to look at Su Xiaoxi, and gave a faint smile: "Hey, Little Xi, what does it feel like to be jealous?"

Su Xiaoxi was about to explode: "Zhang Miao! Are you doing this on purpose?"

"No, I really don’t quite understand."

Su Xiaoxi took a deep breath, managed to calm herself down, then replied: "I can’t describe it either. But I can give you a few typical signs of a woman being jealous: First is to get angry and start a fight; the second is being upset silently. The third is to be very hostile to the woman who is being flirtatious with her partner, and to compare herself to her secretly. If she finds herself inferior to the other woman, she will get even angrier. The fourth is to commit suicide."

"Hold on!" Zhang Miao immediately cut her off: "From what I understand in the books, there’s no talk of suicide in a woman’s jealousy!"

"NO, NO, NO." Zhang Miao wiggled her fingers: "Miao Miao, theory is not reality. You have not loved anyone, so you wouldn’t understand. Women are actually very extreme beings. Haven’t you heard the news about women committing suicide due to frustrated love?"

Zhang Miao blinked, timidly asked: "So, Little Xi, would you commit suicide because of jealousy?"

"Of course I wouldn’t! Love is precious, but my life is more valuable. Young miss me treasures life like gold, I can’t bear to die."

"Such a sophisticated phrase! Huh~" Zhang Miao took a deep breath, then said: "But I’m a bit relieved."

"Hey, Miao Miao." At this point, Su Xiaoxi suddenly said seriously.

"Hmm?"

"Find someone and experience a real relationship. I think you do have the ability to fall in love, you are just a bit slow. If you don’t date anyone, you may never activate your love cells." Su Xiaoxi advised.

Zhang Miao spread her hands, helplessly said: "I wish I could, but I don’t have anyone."

"What about Xueji’s New King? I heard he’s not bad, and don’t you also show some interest?"

Zhang Miao: ..

"What’s wrong?"

"Err, nothing."

Su Xiaoxi stood up from the bathtub, gave a light laugh: "Miao Miao, if one day, you have the feeling of jealousy, congratulations, you have successfully activated your love cells."

"Ha~" Zhang Miao supported her left cheek with her right hand: "Being jealous... I feel like it’s not compatible with me."

Su Xiaoxi: "It’s because it’s not compatible that it will be so interesting. I really want to see what your jealous look looks like sooner. I’m looking forward to it!"

Zhang Miao rolled her eyes: "Give up on that idea. The man who could make me jealous probably hasn’t been born yet."

Su Xiaoxi chuckled, didn’t say anything more, stretched her waist: "Ah, it’s comfortable to take a bath, I’m going out first."

When Zhang Miao came out wrapped in a bathrobe, the three women in the living room all had serious expressions.

"What’s wrong?" Affected by the atmosphere, Zhang Miao asked with a serious look.
