Ji Yi slept late the night before and when woke up at eleven in the morning the next day, she was still dreaming under her warm comforter.
It really was a wonderful dream. She dreamed she and He Jichen were standing in front of the white stone fence in Houhai, watching the sky filled with fireworks.
In the midst of the exploding fireworks, Ji Yi felt her phone vibrate gently in her hand. She tapped the screen and saw an Alipay red envelope. After clicking on it, Ji Yi realized it was sent by He Jichen who was standing right next to her.
The message on the red envelope was simple; there were just three words: New year's money.
The sum in the red envelope read: 8888.
Ji Yi hadn't finished the latter half of her dream when she heard her mom cry, "Ji Yi, get up. Ji Yi!"
She then removed her comforter, allowing the chill to wake her up from her dream.
