Pet me, are you addicted?

We finally found the agreed KTV, and as soon as we walked to the door, we saw my senior sister who came to visit me in the dormitory.

"Sister, are you here?" We asked.

"You came quite early, let's go, I will accompany you to the box."

"How many people are in the box?"

"There are three of you, all of you are freshmen, and you are all punctual!"

Under the leadership of the senior sister, we walked into a box.The music in the box is not loud, and no one has asked for a song yet.I saw a boy and two girls in the flickering lights.

"There are two freshmen here, let's get to know each other first!" the senior sister said to us.

Maybe it's a coincidence that fate is doomed.Although they used to be in the same high school, they didn't know each other.After some self-introduction, the five of us got to know each other's names and majors.

After a while, other seniors and sisters also arrived. In front of the seniors and sisters, freshmen like us seemed a little childish.Time is like a butcher's knife, especially when you were in college!

One afternoon, we gathered at KTV and sang heartily.The so-called eating, drinking and having fun means that after you find happiness, you should prepare to eat, drink and drink.

In the evening, we followed the seniors and sisters out of the KTV.At this time, the sky was already dark, and the street lights were turned on one by one, showing the exquisite and gorgeous scene of Student Street under the dilapidated appearance.

On the street, snacks such as seafood barbecue, crayfish, beef noodles, Sichuan hot pot, Chongqing Malatang, Changsha stinky tofu, Xi'an Liangpi, claypot rice, ramen, and sliced ​​noodles are all over the street.

A few rickety tables, patchwork chairs of different heights, a light bulb connected to an unknown wire hanging on the table, surrounded by young men and women eating in twos and threes, there is really an indescribable characteristic .

"Wow, there are so many people!" I sighed.

"We have always come to Fallen Street for dinner, because it is delicious and cheap." A senior sister said.

"Basically I sleep until twelve noon every day. It has been like this for several years in college, and there are generally people living like this around here." A senior senior said with emotion, and continued:

"There are very few people who will carry a bag in the morning and take a few books to the classroom for self-study, or go to the library. This small part is enough to make the street boil, so that the facade of selling breakfast will not be in danger. Close the door, Xiaolongbao, Jiaozi, steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, puff pastry... you can have everything you want.”

"Especially on spring and summer nights, the street is full of late-night snack stalls. That kind of late-night snack stall is really a specialty, with a few rickety tables, strangely shaped chairs of different heights, and an unknown origin hanging from the head. Light bulbs connected by wires, or simply, to give you some sentimentality, light a few candles on each table, and if you are not careful when eating, you will smell a special burnt smell. It turns out that a certain classmate’s hair is sintered .” Another senior’s joke made us freshmen lean forward with laughter.

"Why is this street called Fallen Street? It sounds creepy, and those who don't know why are afraid to come." Liu Jiating asked.

"Because a few years ago, a reporter wrote an article about the condition of this street and published it, which made it known all over the country. The title of the article said that this street was Degenerate Street. The false report of this article was refuted on the Internet. You can check it online if you have time, it is quite interesting.”

In fact, this is an ordinary commercial street.The most vivid scenery on the street is the bustling young students. They seem to have nowhere to rest their youth, have the sense of loss after their spiritual home has been ruined, and have "run away from home" from the symbolic world of the ivory tower to the reality, and feel the plight of daily necessities. Annoyance and joy, but also the indulgence of temporarily blurring and dodging in the secular sensuality.

But all of these have nothing to do with law and morality, but only about the individual's exploration and exploration of the relationship between self and community, and about the transition and swing between secular life and college life. A window to observe the billowing red dust in this world.

The game spirit, irony awareness, secular feelings, and rebellious atmosphere of Degenerate Street culture, in a sense, represent the indispensable Bohemian spirit of young people. This spirit originated in Czechoslovakia and emphasizes It is a cultural spirit that is alienated from mainstream culture and will, and exiles itself in the pursuit of spiritual autonomy and uniqueness of life.

Unknowingly, a pleasant singing sound came from a distance.I looked in the direction where the singing was coming from, and I saw boys and girls sitting on the stage with guitars in their arms. The lights were so dim that I couldn’t see their faces at all. They just sang suddenly, acoustic guitar The voice and their pure singing will penetrate the noisy crowd and reach the deepest part of the soul.

After walking for a while, the senior took everyone to a restaurant.As a result, the gathering place for fellow villagers has shifted from the KTV for fun to restaurants for eating and drinking.

The advantage of this place on Student Street is that it is suitable for any kind of people to live in. Those who have no money can eat a vegetarian dish for two yuan a meal, and there are restaurants with private seats where you can spend a lot of money. People are strangely familiar with each other.

There are teahouses, KTVs, bars, and ice skating rinks... You may meet familiar faces anywhere.A good show is possible in any place, and here, you may meet many people who make you feel strange.

At the dinner table, the senior asked:

"I was in military training before, I think it's the first time you have come to this street to play?"

I and several other freshmen nodded, only Liu Jiating smiled and said, "During the military training, I came here to eat."

"Like me, another foodie!" The senior sister teased.

The dining table is set inside the box, so it will not be affected by the noise outside.However, there was a man and a woman arguing outside the door. Although the voice was not loud, it seemed very harsh.

A senior went to the door and took a look, then came back and said:

"Why did it sound so familiar to me? It turned out that it was a man and a woman who lived next door to me. They were two students who lived together. They tossed and woke up very late every night."

"You have lived off-campus, are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?" another senior asked.

"Yes! It's so hard!"

"Where do you live? After you finish the exam, go to your place and have a good drink."

"The house I rented is behind a mountain, and there is a large orange orchard. The toilets and bathrooms are also on the hillside at the back. The conditions are not very good. People who live there inevitably have to greet each other in the early morning. I'm getting used to it."

"It's around here, right?"

"Yes, the land of the nearby residents has been requisitioned and developed by this or that school, and they have no specialties except farming. Most of them survive by renting houses for students from their ancestral property. One room is rented out for a month. It ranges from [-] to [-] yuan, and some of them open a small shop or a small restaurant at home. They always think of more ways to make students spend more money."

Most of the people who live here are those who have just graduated or are about to graduate. From this place, they start to contact the society. This is not a pure campus, nor a pure society. It forms a boundary between society and campus. Or it can be said that it is a soil between society and campus.

This is a paradise for young people, where they can make friends, fall in love, play cards, and play online games.You don't have teachers and parents to watch over you, and you don't have to worry about villains in society blackmailing you.

There are people who are unemployed upon graduation.When I have no job and no homework that must be completed, I often go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet. I can make friends from all over the world online and chat nonsense.

There are friends here who are taking postgraduate entrance examinations and staring at books all day long. This kind of people can be regarded as adding a color to the life of Depraved Street.There are also those engaged in music, art, and performances, all chasing their dreams here.Afraid of entering the society, afraid that this dream will be crushed by the world, they all hide here and grow happily.

In fact, the people living here, apart from those students who are going to school for the convenience of dating, are more students who can't integrate into the society at once or who have just been injured in the society.Living here is still panting, on the one hand sighing the past of the student days, on the other hand looking for another way out.

The source of the name of Degenerate Street is mainly the nightlife here.In summer, the streets are full of food stalls, and a few naked guys sit down in this or that one, and they can drink beer until the light of day.People come and go, and everything is boiling quietly in a civilized way.

This street used to be full of shops opened by local people, but after it was renovated, more shops were added, and more of the bosses here were graduate students.There are also a few students at school who jointly opened some kind of store, with some young dreams.

The night of Fallen Street is noisy with time, flowing with youth and weaving the future.Here, life is hazy and dreams are more real.

A senior who just graduated three months ago also participated in this fellowship party. After graduation, he still stayed in Changsha to work.At this time, he said meaningfully:

"After graduating, I still look for opportunities to hang out on this street, reminiscing about the youthful years when we were not afraid of the sky and the earth. While recalling the last meal on the street, I looked at this old man who left a deep impression on me. Street, look at its bustling as before, look at its youthful growth. In our hearts, it is more often than an omnipotent leisure street, and our lives are not really degraded because of these three words. It gives us more feelings, it is the process of enjoying the carefree and happy lifestyle, and it gives us an excuse to vent our youth that has nowhere to release. Youth is invincible, and Fallen Street has become a brand in many Hexi The seal of the times deep in the hearts of students."

"In the new school year, let's not talk about the sad topic of graduation, let me be cool in the last year!" said a third-year graduate student.

"Yes, yes, let's talk more about the freshmen. The world belongs to us, but it still belongs to them after all. Looking at them, I feel that my life is full of hope." A senior sister said.

"I hope it's theirs, and I have something to do with you!" the senior hit mercilessly.

"That's not certain. I can tell you that there is a freshman in our school's medical school. He is tall and handsome. I heard that he is a rich second generation."

"Medical school? Didn't you hear that our school has a medical school?" Liu Jiating asked.

"I forgot to introduce. This senior is not from our school. He is a fellow from the university next door and the president of their branch. Their university has merged with a medical school, and that hospital is considered the top in the country." The senior explained.
