The Spring Festival Gala performance ended, and it was already past midnight.
Outside the CCTV building, the cold wind was howling. Link and Princess said their goodbyes and drove off in their respective cars.
After making a round on the streets, Link drove to an apartment in Chaoyang District, where he cooked two plates of beef dumplings. Shortly after the dumplings were taken out of the pot, there was a knock on the door. Princess, who had parted ways with him not long ago, came in wearing a furry hat and a mask.
After the two of them ate the dumplings to replenish their energy, they moved from the bathroom to the bedroom, engaging in passionate intimacy.
Princess said this had been the happiest New Year's Eve she had ever spent.
The next morning, Link brought gifts to Zhang Zilin's house to pay a New Year's visit, joining her family for the reunion meal he missed the night before and catching the rebroadcast of the Spring Festival Gala. The performance was quite good.
