Dignity

  "Are you going to spread the news for us?" At this time, the person who scolded Fatso Taohas said "Do we look like fools? He deserved it, who told him to be in the same dorm as Liu Zhendong. You also deserve it, Liu Zhendong is a troublemaker. None of you will have a good life."

  I took a look at the person in front of me, over 1.7 meters tall, quite dark-skinned, with pimples on his face, looking pretty disgusting, and thinning hair on both sides. He was dressed in a very cool manner.

  "He's too timid and won't go out to send a message"

  "Didn't you just report it earlier? Luckily I found out early, spare me the nonsense. Liu Zhendong, today you must give an explanation to our Xuan Ge."

  "Oh, so that's what happened." Bao Long also walked over and looked at the person "That's Taotao's phone, you're the one who dropped it"

  That man nodded, "Not only the phone, but also this kneeling down, was I knocked down by a single mouth? What's wrong with you, waste?" As soon as he finished speaking, I punched him in the face. Bo Long was even more straightforward and kicked his stomach. Along with me punching his chin again, Bo Long rushed up from one side.

  Right after that, I heard a voice from behind saying "A group of bastards, dare to fight back?" Then countless people rushed towards us two.

  I and Bao Long punched that person with two fists and one foot, sending him to the corner of the wall. Then we stretched out our hands, one holding his neck, the other on our iron bed frame. One hand grabbed the bed frame, conveniently wrapping around his neck, pinning him tightly against the bed edge. At this moment, someone punched me with a fist. I didn't dodge, gritted my teeth, and with the other hand, punched that person's face. Bao Long hadn't even turned around when he was engulfed by the crowd. Suddenly, the dormitory erupted into chaos. I leaned against the corner, both hands tightly grasping that person's neck, as a flurry of fists and feet came crashing towards me. I only managed to punch him twice before losing the chance to fight back. Keeping my head down, I still held onto that person's head, pinning it tightly against the bedpost. My mind was filled with images of them bullying fat Tao. This honest and lovely fatty felt pain all over his body. Someone even picked up a stool and smashed it onto me. Slowly but surely, I couldn't hold on any longer, and gradually loosened my grip on that person. Then, I fell to the ground, leaning against the wall. The person I was holding onto, after I let go, immediately fell to the ground, rolling back and forth in agony. The people around us slowly stopped their hands.

  At this time, someone knocked on the door "Open the door, open the door, hurry up, classmates of 518, open the door immediately." Then, the door was opened. The whole room of people, the teacher at the door, as soon as the door opened, the people inside the room rushed out like crazy. While running, they shouted and cheered. Only Qin Xuan himself stood slowly and leisurely in the room, without moving.

  The teacher didn't even stop them, letting people run out freely.

  The people in the room slowly dispersed. I leaned against the wall, with nosebleed still remaining, and the person who was holding my neck also didn't feel well, leaning on one side. On the other side was Bao Long, next to Bao Long was another person lying down. Dong Ge at the door position was also leaning on one side, his body and clothes were all dirty. Pangzi Tao's face was covered in blood, now holding toilet paper, covering his own head. I took a look at the heater on one side, guessing that he had bumped into it.

  The teacher also saw the situation, stretched out his hand and pointed to the classmates surrounding him "Go quickly, go quickly, two people, support him to the school infirmary, take a look" Then two people ran in, helped Fatuo up, Fatuo's whole body was trembling, I watched as Fatuo was pulled out.

  I leaned against the wall, then coughed, my lips somehow cracked, and my nose was still bleeding. I made an effort to lift my head, then picked up a roll of toilet paper from the foot of the bed and wiped it clean. The teacher also walked in. Dong Ge slowly got up from the ground.

  Bo Long pulled out a cigarette from his clothes, the three of us were almost all bruised and battered, hurting all over. Qin Xuan stood there smiling, not saying a word.

  The dormitory director looked at us and said in a low voice, "Fighting again, huh?"

  Qin Xuan spread his hands at this time "Teacher Liu, it's not a fight, but a discussion of the issue"

  "Qin Xuan, don't come here often"

  Qin Xuan smiled again, "Teacher Liu, I didn't even move my hands. This matter has nothing to do with me, I came up here to investigate the problem of students not returning to their dorms at night. Who knew that as soon as I came up, I ran into a fight, and then I was squeezed inside. I tried to break it up for half a day, but couldn't open it up. There were so many people, you saw it too, the whole dorm was full of people, crowded to the point where even fighting couldn't get in, let alone breaking it up. I even got hit several times. These new freshmen from class one have no discipline, who knows who they will offend next." Qin Xuan continued smiling nonchalantly, "But those people just now, I really didn't know who they were. There were a few who looked familiar, but if you asked me to call out their names, I really couldn't do it."

  "All of you, come down to the office downstairs," said the dormitory director, and then turned around and went downstairs.

  Qin Xuan smiled and helped the two people on the ground up, and the three of them slowly went downstairs. I glanced at Bo Long, took out a cigarette, and handed one to Bo Long.

  Bo Long puffed on his cigarette, then leaned back and rubbed his face. "I just held one down. How about you?"

  I chuckled and said, "Take down that one who bullied Taotao, I'll take care of him." Then I coughed twice with a "cough, cough". After that, I rubbed my arm and said, "It hurts to death."

  Dong Ge stood up and sat on the edge of the bed. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I always cause trouble."

  "It's nothing" Bo Long grasped the bed with one hand, then slowly got up. After standing up, he twisted his body and said "Wait for me to collect money to buy a phone for Fat Tuo. Actually, neither Liu Er nor I have anything going on, but Fat Tuo is the most affected by this. This silly kid is too honest. We all know the situation at home, so let's wait until we can afford to buy him a cell phone."

  Dong Ge stood up and let out a sigh towards us, "Alright, this whole thing is my fault. Wait for me to go talk to Qin Xuan, I'll apologize to him."

  "Apologize?" I looked at Qin Xuan "Can you be any more embarrassing?"

  "What's the point now? Today's events have already unfolded like this, if it continues like this, what can be done?" Dong Ge said with some frustration "It's all my fault, from the start, I had to go provoke Gao Weiwei."

  "Whatever," Bo Long said, "don't worry about other things for now. You just focus on getting better, and do what you need to do. There's no use dwelling on the past. For now, just leave it like this. Don't provoke Gao Weiwei again. After all, you stole someone else's girlfriend, so you're in the wrong first. Do you understand what I mean? But if Qin Xuan is still causing trouble, my brother and I will take care of him."

  I couldn't help but laugh "Right, he's awesome, and there are times when he's on his own. If he really doesn't care about anything, then forget about studying, no one will have a good life anyway. This school, this education, it's not like it means anything even if you do attend."

  Bo Long nodded "En"

  Big Brother looked at the two of us, then didn't say a word, it was quite depressing. He just walked to the middle of us, one hand around my neck and the other holding Bolong, and the three of us went downstairs.

  They arrived at the dormitory director's office, Qin Xuan and a few others were standing over there, chatting with the teacher, laughing and talking, it was clear that they were in cahoots.

  As expected, after we went in, the dormitory director's face fell, and it seemed that he still had a lot of opinions about us. After all, things were already quite unpleasant before.

  The dormitory director, of medium build, in his 50s, sat there holding a cup and took a sip of tea. "Tell me, what's going on?"

  "They beat us, the sophomores, and bully us," Dong Ge said, "You also saw it, they ran to our dormitory and beat several of us."

  The dormitory director shook his head, "That's why, someone said that you several are because of pouring water and garbage downstairs, and then someone found out and went upstairs to reason with you. You even hit him, so he went to reason with the several of you. Later, Chao opened it and pushed a few times."

  We were stunned for a moment, and then we remembered what happened in the morning. It seems that Qin Xuan must have planned it all out ahead of time, so he could shift the blame completely.

  Just as Dong Ge was about to continue speaking, I reached out and pulled him "Teacher, we don't have."

  "You know what you did this morning, now I mean it, let's shake hands and remain friends after all we're from the same school. From now on, pay attention to your words and actions, control yourself a bit, everything will be fine. Let's just consider this matter settled."

  "Whatever?" Bao Long suddenly became unhappy "Teacher, how can you say whatever and just let it go, isn't that inappropriate?"

  Qin Xuan smiled slightly on the other side "Either you people go to the Dean, Student Affairs Director and the like, go talk about it, clarify all matters, see how the college handles it. Alright, everyone, call that fat guy from your dormitory too, take a look at this matter, if the school's higher-ups find out, how many of you can still be so happy to attend school"

  "Are you threatening me?" Bao Long took a step forward.

  "Hey, don't scare me!" Qin Xuan took another step back, pointing at Bo Long "Teacher Liu, look, hurry up and take a look, these freshmen of Class One are all so arrogant, one more than the other. See? They're even threatening me in front of you."

  "Alright," said the dormitory director looking at us a few "One sentence, is it okay or not?"

  "I said, 'Let's just drop it, but teacher, you also have to let Qin Xuan off the hook.'"

  "What's it got to do with me? I didn't have any grudges against you guys in the first place. If you want to count, then go ahead." Qin Xuan smiled slightly.

  It was symbolic, a handshake, and then they left the dormitory director's office. Qin Xuan very enthusiastically greeted them, and after finishing, he came to our side, patted Liu Zhendong's shoulder with his hand "This matter, it ends here. Since you didn't continue to harass Gao Weiwei, I'll forgive you. However, remember this, all of you, if something like this happens again, I will make you regret it." After finishing speaking, Qin Xuan stretched out his hand and beckoned the people beside him "Let's go."

  Those people glanced at us and then walked away very coolly.
