Worried fatty TAO

  Pangzi Tao smiled foolishly and nodded. "I'll go get some water first. What do you want to eat? I can buy it back for you, or we can go eat together?"

  I sighed and did it, then rushed to Taotao and said "Taotao, are you stupid or something? You like serving people that much?"

  Fat boy Taoshake shook his head, "You guys are good to me, genuinely good to me, I don't know how to repay you either. I'm poor, stupid, and can't even fight. I have no idea how I can help you, so all I can do is sweep the floor more often, fetch a few more buckets of water, and help with whatever little tasks I can manage. That way, at least my conscience will feel a bit better. Otherwise, I really don't know what else I can do to help you guys. Besides, it seems like none of you like doing those things either, heh."

  "Dong Ge sat down on the bed, then reached out and patted Huang Zi Tao's shoulder. "Huang Zi Tao, listen to me, we don't need you to repay us for anything. We're brothers, do you understand? You don't have to make yourself seem like you're one level lower than us all day long, okay? I'm really fed up with this. We don't need you to do anything, just be however you want and that's fine, got it? You need to learn how to respect yourself."

  Fat boy Taonodded "I know, I know. I'm just used to it, so I want to do it this way. I've lived so long, you guys are the only ones who truly care about me except my mom and dad, I'm touched. Really. For those who bullied me, I even ran errands for them, you guys truly care about me, I should do more." Then Fat boy Taosmiled "I'll go get water for you first, we can talk later when I come back with the water. There will be many people getting water soon." After saying that, Fat boy Tao smiled again and ran to the balcony, carrying four water jugs, then ran out.

  Looking at Fatou Tuo, after he ran out, I stretched out my hand and pointed in the direction where he disappeared, "Infuriating! How can't he change even a bit?"

  "That's right." Dong Ge scolded, "This dead fatty, really has no dignity."

  "Alas," I sighed, "it's no use then. Everyone has their own aspirations, and there's no way to ask him to change. He's been like this for so many years, even if he wanted to change, it wouldn't be something that could be changed in just one or two times."

  Dong Ge said beside me "Liu Er, what are we going to eat tonight? I'll treat you guys to something delicious."

  "Anything else?"

  "Alright, you guys don't need to fight with me over this, I've got money. It's fine."

  "Fart, yesterday when you took out your wallet, I saw that there was no Big Red Fish in it."

  Big Brother Dong took out his wallet and threw it at me, "Take a look."

  I picked up Dong Ge's wallet and looked inside, only to find another stack of money. I was taken aback "Where did it come from?"

  "My dad gave it to me."

  I smiled at Dong Ge and said, "Dong Ge, let's be more careful with our money in the future. Your dad spoiled you like that too."

  "My dad scolded me severely, calling me a prodigal son and all that. In the end, it was still my mom who secretly gave it to me."

  "You've said so much already, can't you be more discreet and stop trying so hard?"

  "My brother spread his hands and said, 'I don't care anymore. Our family has money, I'm not short of money, I want to spend it how I want, being scolded by my dad a few times doesn't matter. He scolds me, but I also have money to spend. So what if he scolds me? He always scolds me, I've gotten used to it after hearing him scold me so many times. After he's done scolding, he'll still give me money. If he doesn't give me any, my mom will. Don't worry everyone, we're all living a good life, we won't be without money. Besides, being scolded by your own dad isn't something to be ashamed of.'"

  "I thought for a moment and then looked at Dong Ge, 'Dong Ge, it's better to ask home less in the future. It's not good to always be like this.'"

  Big Brother Dong smiled indifferently and said, "Alright, Liu Er, I know what you mean. Don't worry about it."

  I sighed and didn't say anything. But to be honest, I always felt that what Dong Ge did was not quite right, but since he's always spending money when we're together, I couldn't say anything either. Deep down, I still don't have much feeling about it - they're a rich family after all. When you've got the money, you can just splurge, right?

  Just then, Paozi Tao came back, pushing open the door, with four thermoses and a plastic bag hanging from his neck, which was a Metrosuper shopping bag.

  Big Brother Dong pointed at Fatso Tao "What's with the bag? Who does it belong to?"

  Pangzi Tao smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Then Pangzi Tao returned to the bed, put the bag on the bed, pressed it under the pillow, and then picked up four thermoses, wanting to go out.

  I was taken aback and pointed at Chubby Tao "Chubby Tao, what are you up to again?"

  "I'm going to fetch water."

  "Fetch water?" I put on my shoes, went downstairs and walked in front of Taotao "You were out for so long just now, what did you do."

  Pangzi Taosheng smiled and said "It's nothing, I just ran into an old friend."

  I took a glance at Baozi Tao's pillow and walked over. Baozi Tao suddenly became anxious, put down the thermos, blocked my way, and exclaimed "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother" with a terrified expression.

  I wasn't very curious at first, but looking at Taotao's expression, I knew there must be a secret. "Get up for me."

  "Sixth brother, what are you doing? Hehe, I just met a friend, and now I'm going out to fetch water. We chatted for a bit, so it delayed my time to fetch water. Sorry about that. Sorry. I'll go now."

  At this time, Dong Ge also walked over and pushed away Pangzi Tao. "Get out of the way." After that, he went to the side of Pangzi Tao's pillow, took it away with one hand, opened the plastic bag, took a look, and then put the bag on the bed.

  "What's that?"

  Dong Ge lay on the bed, lit a cigarette and said to me "underwear and socks, there are many, a whole bag full, all of them. And definitely not his."

  As soon as I heard this, I don't know why, but I suddenly got angry. I turned my head and looked at Pàngzi Taó, shouting "Pàngzi Taó!"

  Pangzi Tao was also frightened by this "Sixth brother, sixth brother, listen to me explain."

  "Explain your mom!" I reached out and grabbed Taotao's collar, then pinned him against the wall. "Whose are those?"

  "Sixth brother, it's okay, just let me do the laundry, anyway I have to wash mine tonight, you can bring yours too and I'll wash them together. Sixth brother, please don't cause any more trouble. Seriously. Stop provoking others. Look, with so many people in the whole school, only our dormitory is always fighting, we're going to be notorious, let's not cause any more trouble, okay? Okay?"

  "Get out of here." I pushed Fatso Tao aside. "I'm asking you, did you fight with him?"

  Pangzi Ta shook his head.

  "Pointing at him with one hand, 'You son of a bitch, say it again.'"

  Pangzi Tuo retreated a few steps back, then looked at me with some fear in his eyes. "Sixth brother, I'm also roommates with them after all. They didn't have water, so I poured some for them. I can go get more later. Don't be angry, okay? It's good exercise for me to run a few extra trips, and it'll help me lose weight too."

  "Which dormitory is theirs?" I asked aloud.

  Fat boy Taotao shook his head, "I won't say it, Sixth Brother. I was wrong. From now on, I won't wash for them anymore. Please don't go fight, okay? If you get expelled, then there will be no one left who truly cares about me. I really want to be with all of you. In my whole life, I've only met a few people who genuinely care about me, and that's just the few of you. From now on, I'll take care of myself. I won't wash for them anymore, okay? Sixth Brother, please, I'm begging you, don't make trouble."

  Dong Ge swiftly took down the stick we had prepared earlier from the bed and walked over to Pang Zi Tao's side.

  Fat Tuo suddenly became anxious, "Brother Dong, please, stop messing around. I'm dead, I'm dead, I'll be careful from now on and won't care about them anymore." Fat Tuo said while slapping his own mouth.

  I walked to the side of Paozi Tao, reached out and grabbed her wrist "Stop hitting yourself. How about this, we won't go, but you tell me, who made you wash things? Which dorm are they in, can't you?"

  Pangzi Ta shook his head.

  I smiled and said, "I'll let you off this time if you confess. If you don't make the same mistake again in the future, we'll consider it settled. But if you don't own up to it, then we'll have to find out for ourselves. And if we do, you can imagine the consequences."

  "Wait, wait!" Fat Tiao stretched out his hand and grabbed my arm. "I'm telling you, I'm telling you, Sixth Brother, just this once, okay?"

  I nodded and said, "Go on, who made you wash them, and whose underwear and socks are they?"

  "Underwear and socks are theirs in the dormitory, water is also what they want, the bag was handed to me by Liu Ming, let me wash it. 503 dormitory's."

  After Pàngzi Tāo finished speaking, the door of our dormitory opened and Bó Lóng came in with a toothpick in his mouth, smiling and saying "The feeling of being in love is great, haha". After he came in, he looked at us and said "What's wrong? What are you doing?" while humming a little tune "I love you, I love you, I love love love love you. My Qióng Qióng". Then Bó Lóng paused for a moment, still with the toothpick in his mouth, and said "Why isn't anyone scolding me? What's going on here?"

  I patted Tuo's shoulder "I didn't mean to deceive you, don't blame me." Then I nodded at Dong Ge.

  Dong Ge picked up the bag of Pang Zi Tao. Then he took out the stick, and I also took out the stick from under my bed.

  Bolong didn't ask anything either. He picked up the stick from under his bed and pointed at Taotao, "You unlucky kid, what have you done again?"

  Pangzi Tao carefully glanced at Bao Long "I didn't mean to either."

  "His previous dormitory people let him wash underwear and socks, also hit the water, and were taken away by others."

  "Son of a bitch." Bao Long was furious "Damn it"

  "Alright." I interrupted Bao Long "Let's go." Following me, carrying a stick and heading towards the door.

  Pangzi Tao grabbed my arm with one hand "Sixth brother, sixth brother, don't, don't."

  Boluo angrily pushed forward and gave Taotao a shove: "Get out of here, you useless thing."

  "Alright." I reached out and pulled Bao Long, then turned to look at Pangzi Tao "Either come together or wait here. Let's go."

  After finishing speaking, I turned around and left. Bao Long and Dong Ge followed me from behind.

  The three of us, carrying sticks, arrived at the entrance of 503. Fat Tiao also caught up from behind.

  I knocked on the door and hadn't spoken yet, when Bolong suddenly pushed it open from behind me. As soon as the door was opened, he rushed in first.

  All of us went in, there were four people in their dormitory.

  After going in, I smiled and took off the only T-shirt on my body. With a bare back, holding a stick, the four people inside were all stunned, staring at us blankly.

  A man wearing a big red basketball shorts, bare-chested, with glasses and very long hair looked at us and said "Who are you? What do you want?"
