While He Chen was washing his feet, Ye Manman saw the cheap leather shoes he bought for himself.
It's hard to tell if it's because of his large build or because he walks too much, or perhaps both. Those shoes looked brand new in the morning, but now they're worn out in several places.
Not only are there damages, but also deep creases, and the synthetic leather is peeling up. The sole is starting to come unglued, seemingly on the verge of speaking.
These must be knock-off leather shoes bought from some street stall; they're practically disposable.
If he wears them for one more day, having the leather peel would be a minor issue; these shoes might just open up to say something.
Now that He Chen is a company boss, he shouldn't be wearing such cheap items anymore.
Ye Manman silently decided that once the competition prize money comes in, she'll buy him some good clothes and shoes.
