New Year’s Eve.

All of Xia Country was brimming with the festive spirit of the Spring Festival.

Big red lanterns were hanging high.

At Mist City Arts and Science University, every tree along each path was adorned with bright, red lanterns. Ding Yue had even participated in the lantern hanging.

Moreover, since a portion of the university staff also stayed on campus, hanging the lanterns turned out to be quite an easy task.

Over five thousand students stayed on campus during the winter break, choosing not to go home for various reasons and instead staying at the university for the New Year celebrations.

And at Mist City Arts and Science University, a variety of activities were held every year for the Spring Festival, such as having the New Year’s Eve dinner together. It was easy for the students to find a sense of belonging, as if they were in their second home.

From early on New Year’s Eve, Ding Yue’s mother, Zhang Yuping, together with the canteen team, began preparing the New Year’s Eve feast for the faculty and the students who remained on campus.

Ever since Ding Yue first founded Mist City Arts and Science University, he and his family haven’t been celebrating the Spring Festival at home, but rather having a "large reunion" on campus.

Huang Youjie and Xu Bin, along with their families, now came to Mist City Arts and Science University every year to celebrate this lively New Year, together with Ding Yue’s family, adding the university’s key personnel, the gathering was quite a lively affair indeed.

"Principal Ding, happy New Year."

"Wishing Principal Ding a happy Spring Festival."

"Principal Ding, do we have the New Year’s Eve feast prepared by the school this year?"

During the day, Ding Yue took a stroll around the university and encountered many students who remained on campus. Upon seeing Principal Ding, they all took the initiative to greet him.

"Happy New Year to you all, students."

Ding Yue responded to the students as well and answered the student who had asked about the New Year’s Eve feast, "Tonight, at the Fifth Canteen, the school has prepared New Year’s Eve dinner for everyone. Don’t forget to go eat, and we can also watch the Spring Festival Gala at the Fifth Canteen."

"Awesome!"

"Principal Ding is the best!"

"The school really never lets me down."

"You might not believe me, but I stayed at the school over the New Year and didn’t go home just to get in on the school’s New Year’s Eve dinner, hahahaha."

"To the guy mooching off the school’s New Year’s Eve dinner, you are hardcore!"

Upon hearing Principal Ding mention that this year, like in past years, the school had prepared a New Year’s Eve feast, every student’s face revealed a happy expression.

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening on New Year’s Eve.

Night fell, and it was about time for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

In the Fifth Canteen, the school had set up thirty big round tables as well as covered the usual dining tables. Here, Ding Yue would spend this New Year’s Eve with his family, friends, teachers, administrative staff, company employees, and students.

Gradually, more and more students arrived at the Fifth Canteen.

The big screens in the center of the Fifth Canteen were just right for watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Ding Yue felt that in the past couple of years, the quality of the Spring Festival Gala had indeed improved. The shows from the 2000s were great; thereafter, the quality dropped significantly, but in the last two years, there was an improvement, bringing back some of the original charm of the Gala.

However, for Ding Yue, the most important part of watching the Spring Festival Gala was actually seeing the pride of Mist City Arts and Science University—his students.

That’s right.

It was Lin Zhirou.

Lin Zhirou was once again invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala this year, and she was going to sing her new song "Big Fish," which had been released just over a month ago.

Before the start of the Gala, the New Year’s Eve dinner was served.

Before starting the meal, Ding Yue, as usual, said a few words according to tradition.

"Students, teachers, staff members of the school, on this New Year’s Eve, I wish you all a happy Spring Festival,"

Ding Yue said, raising his wine glass with a smile to the teachers and students in the Fifth Canteen.

"In the past year, we have achieved very good results. I hope that in the coming year, we can continue to work hard and forge ahead. Alright, I won’t say much, because tonight is not a school annual summary. Tonight, let us celebrate together, happy New Year!"

After Ding Yue finished speaking, he directly downed the wine in his glass.

Hurrah!

Woohoo!

Seeing Principal Ding finish his speech, the students in the Fifth Canteen started to make a ruckus.

"Alright, let’s eat!"

After Ding Yue finished his drink, he sat down and then began to enjoy the grand feast of the New Year’s Eve dinner.

This whole table was filled with food personally prepared by Ding Yue’s mother, Zhang Yuping.

Just at this moment, the NTS’s annual Spring Festival Gala was just beginning to unveil its curtain, with the opening performance having the festive feel of the Spring Festival.

"Come on, Yue, let’s have a drink!"

Huang Youjie, with a drink in hand, walked over to Ding Yue.

Brothers with a deep bond, one gulp down, and indeed Huang Youjie guzzled it in one go, leaving Ding Yue with no choice but to down another glass as well.

Following that, Xu Bin came over.

It seemed those two had conspired, tagging each other in to continuously ply Ding Yue with drink.

Ding Yue saw through their game, and in the end, when they downed their drinks, he didn’t join them, just taking a sip to finish the round.
