Chapter 504 The Little Cotton-padded Jacket Has a Draft

Before leaving the movie theater, Ma Chao couldn't help but look back at Shen Hongmei.

The boy accompanying her was handing her a bucket of popcorn. She smiled sweetly, the very image of someone immersed in love.

She used to be like this in front of him too.

The boy wore a short-sleeve shirt and jeans, which were very fashionable at the time, and looked handsome and well-established—a cultured youth with a proper job.

Ma Chao felt a bitter taste in his heart.

Ultimately, it was his male pride that was hurt.

The better Shen Hongmei's life was, the more it proved his lack of foresight. He feared that the people in the village were laughing at him, saying he had dropped a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.

Besides, he bore some resentment towards Shen Hongmei.

He resented her for not cherishing their past relationship and not willing to lend him money, causing him to miss the opportunity to become a permanent teacher.
