The atmosphere at the banquet was getting better and better.
Marcus suddenly turned around and saw Anja standing next to him.
Since she didn't dance on the dance floor.
Marcus ran to Anja.
"What do you think? Do you want to go out for a walk?"
As soon as Anja raised her head, she found that Marcus's eyes were shining as if there were stars hidden in them. She nodded unconsciously.
"Let's go."
Marcus reached out his hand, and Anja held it shyly. The two walked out of the castle together.
When the people at the banquet found that the famous young talent had disappeared, the two had already left the castle.
Detached from the noisy atmosphere inside, now there were only Marcus and herself.
Anja followed him and looked at him shyly from time to time.
It was already night, and the starry sky above her was shining brightly.
Since the two of them came out, their hands had never been separated.
The temperature was so hot that Anja struggled a little out of habit.
Marcus let go of his hand immediately and turned to her with embarrassment. "I'm sorry. I forgot that I'm still holding your hand."
The gentlemanly manner at this time really made the girl a little embarrassed.
Anja didn't answer him and kept walking.
Marcus scratched his head. He didn't know if what he did just now annoyed Anja and wanted to apologize again.
Anja was one of his few female friends.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hold your hand all the time just now. I just forgot it after I came out."
The annoying voice kept ringing behind her.
Anja pursed her lips shyly and said, "Stop talking. Let's go."
Hearing Anja's voice, Marcus was assured that he had been forgiven, and was immediately relieved.
Although they left the castle, the two of them walked back to the school aimlessly.
"Let's go to the lab."
Suddenly, an idea occurred to Anja. She took Marcus back to the lab.
There was no one in the lab at night, only the lab equipment left in the center.
Marcus and Anja smiled. It was completely quiet here, and there were only them.
The two looked at each other, and Anja lowered her head unconsciously.
"Why didn't you go dancing?"
Marcus looked at her and suddenly asked.
Anja raised her head in surprise, but she didn't know what to say.
Did she tell Marcus that she didn't go to the dance because she saw so many people inviting Marcus to dance?
Anja didn't know what to say.
She opened her mouth and stammered, but didn't answer Marcus's question. Instead, she said something else, "The two of us just sneaked in. No one is allowed to come in the lab at night."
"No one found us when we came in anyway."
Marcus was very frank, they both came in openly and honestly, as for others not finding them, it was just a mere accident.
Anja nodded and made a gesture of silence to Marcus.
Next, they had to be careful when they talked, in case of being discovered.
Marcus didn't retort to Anja.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Marcus asked again. A voice in his heart told him that this question was very important, so Marcus kept asking.
Anja blushed.
Marcus was so annoying. She didn't want to answer this question, but he insisted on asking her.
"What about you? Why don't you go dancing? Don't you know how to dance?"
Anja cleverly asked about Marcus instead.
She was happy to see Marcus refuse those girls.
But now she realized that if Marcus didn't go dancing, he might not know how to dance at all.
After all, Marcus's family was just a country aristocrat.
Such an aristocrat would not arrange high etiquette classes for all children.
So, Marcus might have never learned this kind of etiquette dance.
"I really can't."
Marcus nodded.
"How about I teach you?"
Anja stood up excitedly and reached out her hand to Marcus.
Marcus looked at her smiling face. She looked expectant. After hesitating for a while, he didn't refuse and nodded.
He held her hand and pulled her into his arms.
The two looked at each other, and Anja was a little embarrassed. "I'll start dancing next. You just follow my movements."
Marcus nodded. Although he didn't know how to face things, he was still full of momentum.
Although there was no music as accompaniment, the two of them quickly immersed themselves in this emotion.
Anja took the lead and led Marcus to dance with her.
It was dark in the lab, and only the moonlight reflected from the window made it a little hazy.
Marcus and Anja were dancing trippingly. Although the space here was not big, it could not stop the two of them.
"What do you think? Is it not difficult at all?"
Anja whispered in Marcus's ear.
The warm breath tickled Marcus's ears. He took a step back subconsciously.
It was just this step that made a noise.
"Who is it?"
Suddenly, a scream came from outside, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching the laboratory.
Looking at Anja, Marcus was at a loss. If the two of them were found here...
"Come with me."
Anja was also a little anxious. She grabbed Marcus's hand without hesitation. She ran to a cabinet in the corner, opened the door, and hid with Marcus.
The environment here was very narrow. Although it could accommodate two people, the space that each person could occupy was infinitely squeezed.
The two could only be close to each other, and a nervous atmosphere spread between them.
The sound of footsteps finally approached the lab, and people outside opened the door and came in.
He searched around the lab and saw an ornament on the ground.
"Oh, it's something."
He murmured, picked up the things, and put them back on the table. Then he began to search carefully in the lab.
Marcus and Anja didn't dare to move in such an environment.
The people outside didn't leave for some reason.
He searched the laboratory thoroughly. When the footsteps approached the two of them again, Marcus and Anja were nervous.
Anja even felt a little regretful. She grabbed Marcus's hand and hid in the closet in a hurry.
In fact, the two of them, one was the daughter of the dean, and the other was a disciple of the dean. It was normal for them to appear in the laboratory.
It was precise because of this dodge that made it strange.
If the people outside saw them hiding in the cupboard, it would be difficult to explain.
Anja grabbed Marcus's clothes.
The two men breathed nervously. When the footsteps stopped, there was only one door so close to them.
"Carlos came here to patrol."
At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside.
The man who stopped at their door agreed and walked out of the room, cursing.
"Damn it! Why do you have to take me with you to patrol?"
Marcus and Anja breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them didn't speak. After taking a few deep breaths, they burst into laughter at the same time.
It was too dangerous and exciting just now.
"I was so scared." Anja complained.
The two of them had been hiding there for more than ten minutes. The narrow space made the air warm up quickly.
Just now at the birthday party, the two of them had drunk a lot.
There was a smell of alcohol in the air. Marcus lowered his head and happened to meet Anja.
There was silence around, only the two of them.
The feelings of the young man and the young girl were brewed in this environment.
Anja gathered her courage and reached out to hug Marcus.
She didn't know what she was doing. She just followed her heart.
Marcus was shocked. He didn't dodge but responded to Anja.
The two of them came out of the cabinet.
Anja was too shy to raise her head.
Marcus led her, and the two of them were in a hurry.
"You are so timid. How dare you hug me just now?"
Marcus teased her. Anja stamped her foot hard.
It was true that girls couldn't be offended casually.
Everything made sense.
