I was jealous (2)

Mo Qiang: "…" 

Xie Jie: "…." 

The two of them looked at one another as the words finally settled in their heads. While Mo Qiang turned confused, Xie Jie's face flushed red in embarrassment and anger. He could not believe that he had said those words out loud. 

Why did he say that he was jealous? How could he be jealous of this woman? 

He was about to make an excuse but then he heard Mo Qiang say, "Are you sure you are talking about yourself?" The tone with which she asked him was filled with confusion as well as suspicion. It was clear as the day that she did not believe that he was capable of feeling jealous. 

Now, Xie Jie who was angry at himself turned angry at Mo Qiang for not believing that he was jealous. What did she take him as? Was he some sort of machine, that could not get angry or upset? How dare she!
