Chapter 717: Chapter 527: The Fisherman Never Lacks Air Force_1 Chapter 717: Chapter 527: The Fisherman Never Lacks Air Force_1 For Mary, the Masters College at night was also a strange and unsettling place.
After all, even she had never stayed so late at the Masters College. At this moment, Mary felt like a child who had done something wrong, cautiously crossing the main gate, passing through the courtyard, when suddenly… a voice appeared.
“It's rare to see you so late in the evening, Mary Clarissa?”
“Ah…”
Upon hearing this voice, Mary was taken aback. She turned her head towards the fountain in the courtyard, where a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, handsome young man wearing lavish clothes was observing her with a smile.
“I did not expect to see you at this hour. Has the muse of the history department finally caught the eye of some research laboratory?”
Heinz Beck…
Looking at the young man in front of her, Mary felt a bit of a headache. Of course, she recognized him. He was also a student at Masters College, but she didn't have much interaction with him. Unexpectedly, he was reaching out to her, but she quickly returned the smile and spoke to him in her usual manner.
“Good evening, Heinz. I'm here because I accidentally left my research topic at the school… I have not joined any research group. After all, I'm not that remarkable.”
“That's not necessarily true, beautiful Miss Mary Clarissa, you are more fascinating than you think. I have read your research paper on the investigation of the genesis period of the northern ruins of Kadas, which is really an interesting topic. If it were me, I would only relate it to Lord Borges' return to Europa, and write a cliche paper combining natural history and theology.”
“Ah…”
Hearing his comments, Mary sighed quietly. She then glanced sideways and saw that Duanmu Huai was standing behind a streetlight, just as he had been before, while Heinz Beck seemed to be completely oblivious to his presence. Even though she had seen the same scenario at Shirley's house, Mary still found it a bit strange.
However, Heinz was completely oblivious to this. He continued to speak to Mary with great enthusiasm.
“Your paper does not target the commonality between Kadas and Europa, but the differences, which is a remarkable and superb angle.”
“Ah… thank you.”
Truth be told, Mary was caught off guard by Heinz's sudden praise. After all, it was her first paper, and the professor's comments didn't speak highly of it, causing her to feel an embarrassing sense of deja vu as if classmates had unearthed and started to critique her elementary school essays.
“Thank you very much, but that was just a preliminary investigation, I'm afraid I can't accept such high praise…”
Regrettably, it seemed that Heinz had no intention of letting go of this topic. He continued to speak to Mary with a smile.
“If you allow me to, I would like to say a few more words. Miss Mary Clarissa, if you are alone tonight, would you please grace me with your company on the way? There are many men who admire you, and I am more in awe of your talent. I can assure you that I will not behave in an ungentlemanly manner…”
“Um…”
Faced with the persistent chase of the young nobleman, Mary was clearly at a loss. However, the latter continued to smile at her and kept on the offensive.
“Please know that only when the flower is viewed from a certain distance does its beauty become apparent. I'm not the type of man who desires to have everything within his grasp. Please rest assured on this matter, okay?”
“Um… well…”
Mary blinked, obviously bewildered. Heinz Beck's height was well-known in the Masters College. On one hand, he was a young, handsome, talented aristocrat from Germanic descent who was quite popular among female students. She also heard rumors of him being pursued by the daughters of nobles.
But she never thought he would approach her.
Of course, Mary was not an undesirable girl. In fact, she had previously received invitations to dinner and letters from other gentlemen, but she had no interest in such matters and had always declined.
But…why would Heinz ask her?
Moreover, in the middle of the night? At this hour?
After all, they had only met once and were not familiar with each other. Honestly, Mary did not anticipate that he would initiate an invitation to her.
“I'm sorry, but someone is waiting for me, so…”
As she spoke, Mary quietly glanced at Duanmu Huai standing under the nearby streetlight.
Well, it wasn't exactly a lie, then.
“I see.”
Heinz followed Mary's gaze, but whether he saw Duanmu Huai or not remained unknown. Soon, he turned his eyes back to Mary.
“My apologies for not noticing. Please don't feel obligated to be polite with me. Continue shining brightly as you always do, beautiful Miss Mary, and I shall wait for the next opportunity. Just like the Lake Knight who eagerly yearned to date beautiful Guinevere.”
There's going to be a next time?!
Frozen in response to Heinz Beck's words, Mary was at a complete loss. Yet, the latter seemingly did not notice Mary's stiff body and expression, and continued to speak.
