But when the clock struck midnight, I sat alone in the house we rented, feeling a bit disappointed as I saw sweet photos posted on other people's social media and heard fireworks exploding outside the window.
A few friends who care about the sense of ceremony sent me New Year's greetings at midnight. After replying to them, I opened the WhatsApp chat box with Troy.
The chat records made me feel a bit dazed.
In the past, we used to share everything with each other, even if it was just a beautiful cloud or a cute dog we saw on the way to work.
When did we stop having endless conversations?
I still sent a New Year's greeting to Troy first.
Troy didn't reply to me until the next morning at 10 o'clock.
[Baby, I worked overtime yesterday and slept at the office. Happy New Year!]
Troy sent me a red envelope.
I received it, there were 40 dollars inside.
After graduating for many years, we have long lost our youthfulness.
He earned 7000 thousand dollars a month, which was similar to me.
For us, such a 40-dollar red envelope was really like a joke.
But I didn't say anything, it was Troy who explained as if he was afraid that I would think too much.
