Rao Mingxing laughed heartily and said, "Stop buttering me up. I'm just a mixed bag with some self-awareness; I can't compare to big brother. He's going straight to the Youth Battle, while I can only attend the Ancient River Trial. Right... you eat first, and I'll ask you something after you're done."
"Alright."
Rao Mingxian vaguely understood what Rao Mingxing wanted to ask, quickly finished eating, walked out of the cafeteria, and headed towards Rao Mingxing in the open space.
Rao Mingxing looked at the sky, puffed out a smoke ring, and handed over a cigarette.
Rao Mingxian took it.
"Mingxian, you're ranked second among the new students at Ruda; you know Zhou Leng, who's ranked first, right?" Rao Mingxing didn't look at Rao Mingxian, continuing to stare at the night sky.
"Yes, I know him," replied Rao Mingxian.
"You've heard that my 'New Qing' spot was taken by him, right?"
"Ah, I hadn't heard about that. I'm really not aware," Rao Mingxian looked puzzled.
