In this short scene, the young narrator tries to make sense of what he has just heard. He realizes that he is madly in love with his teacher, and he wants to propose marriage to her. He tells the audience that he will propose to her as soon as he graduates from college. He also tells us that Dong has decided to become a professional ice-hockey player instead of pursuing his passion alone. He says that he thinks Dong made the right choice because he can't live without passion. The young narrator then tells us about how he is sorry that his teacher has told him that this will be her last year as a teacher. He wants to wish her well in her new career and hopes that she will be successful.
