Just an Encore (Ba Fen Zhong De Wen Nuan / 八分钟的温暖)

Sir.

Er,

what were you doing out on this important

class monitor election day?

I went to help out the sports department.

Stop.

Listen,

don't keep

going to the sports department.

You should put the idea of

playing basketball out of your head quickly.

Enter that competition thing quickly and get a guaranteed

admission into Tsinghua.

I went to help Yan Ze.

Help Yan Ze?

That's fine then.

Zhuo An, please continue.

I could start first.

No need.

I can continue.

I'm passionate and open. I have the courage to make the impossible possible.

I will organize class activities efficiently

and prevent all of you from getting distracted by tiresome duties

so you can concentrate on your studies and

realize your full potential for the college entrance examination.

Thank you.

Alright, Xi Ye, your turn.

I'm an introverted person.

So introverted that even after more than a year has passed

a lot of you still do not know me

and even hate me.

I had to muster up the courage

to run for class monitor today.

I don't think that

the responsibility of a monitor is the taking on of everything

but to fully mobilize the students' engagement.

Join the class activities

and show your strengths.

Make more friends through your teamwork

and create beautiful memories

during the three years

of high school in class three,

it's not all about the studying.

Thank you.

Good.

Alright.

The two candidates

have finished their brilliant speeches.

So, students,

let's start the voting.

We will be voting anonymously.

Which means

that you can choose whoever you want.

After you've written down your vote,

the students in the last row

will help me collect them.

Pass them on to me face down.

Who did you vote for?

None of your business.

Ok.

Ok.

Now we'll

begin counting the votes.

First vote

Yan Ze?

Who did that?

Who did that?

Who was it?

The class monitor election is a very serious business.

No nonsense is allowed.

Listen,

I'll compare the handwriting

and find out who did this.

Just wait.

Jeez.

This vote is invalid.

We'll start again.

First vote.

Yan Ze again?

But...

I told you not to mess around.

What are you doing?

Yan Ze isn't in our class anymore.

Mr. Zheng.

Even though Yan Ze isn't in our class

but she

will always live on in our heart, right? Yes.

So we gotta

count this vote.

Stop this nonsense.

How is this nonsense?

This is the will of the people.

What are you doing?

He Xin Liang.

Mr. Zheng.

Call the votes.

You are messing around.

You are...

I bet the third vote isn't Yan Ze.

Yan Ze again.

Yan...

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Well well.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Yan Ze.

Xiao Zhuo An.

One for Xiao Zhuo An.

Write it down.

At least someone is sensible.

Xiao Zhuo An.

Last vote.

Abstention.

He Xin Liang, why did you do that?

No reason.

She's more modest than you.

What are you...

I know.

You

like Yan Ze.

You hate losing Yan Ze.

I do understand

your feeling.

But Yan Ze isn't in our class anymore.

Oh.

Guys,

firstly, I'm really grateful to you all.

What you did,

I feel like everything was worth it.

But

I'm not in class three anymore.

Even though I'd really like to continue to serve you,

but people

need to look to the future.

Yan Ze said it so well.

Aright,

let's choose Yan Ze

as class three's lifelong honorary class monitor.

Alright? Please applaud.

Great.

Satisfied now?

But our class' work

needs to continue normally.

Thus,

as is tradition, we still need to choose a new class monitor.

Based on the voting result

Xiao Zhuo An will be our...

I don't want to.

What?

I don't want to.

If the class

didn't vote for me,

me being the class monitor loses all meaning.

I hope you wouldn't

just settle for the second best.

I'm not the second best.

Mr. Zheng.

Why don't you

let Gu Xi Ye be the class monitor?

She's been in this class longer than me.

She's more familiar with the class than me.

I request to be the commissary in charge of sports.

I'll guide my classmates to stay fit and healthy.

Let's put that sports commissary aside for now.

First settle the class monitor issue.

Well, Xi Ye,

so

you be the class monitor.

I mean,

what are you doing?

If you have the guts

don't elect a class monitor at all.

Study by yourself,

manage everything yourself.

This is outrageous.

Come to my office.

You...

Mr. Zheng, I swear,

I did not tell anyone to vote me. I only went to see Xi Ye.

I wrote Xi Ye's speech for her.

I didn't know who would win...

Can't you just transfer back?

Huh?

You make me so furious.

Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng.

There's something I wanted to say.

Yan Ze can stay.

It's good that she hears this.
