A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 45 Three People Leave
"Hello, nice to meet you. Although the way we met was a little unexpected, it's a good start, isn't it?"

Lyon greeted the two men with a smile, and then politely shook hands with each of them. There was nothing he could do, as the other party extended their hand first, so this did not count as Lyon taking advantage of them.

Seeing this, Haley glared at Leon angrily. Of course, she was not angry about him showing up at this women's night dinner, but about the politeness and smile Leon showed to Maru and Leah when they met for the first time.

Haley still remembered the first time she met Leon. Leon had a perfunctory attitude, and now he greeted people in a friendly manner. The difference was too big.

But she completely forgot the scene when she first met Leon and her misunderstanding that Leon was a thief. Perhaps this was the main reason why Leon was perfunctory with her at that time.

After the three of them finished their greetings, Jody came over, put his hand on Leon's shoulder and arranged for him to sit on the emptier side, while he sat next to him and teased him.

"I didn't expect you'd already met Haley and Abigail. Adding Emily and a few other outstanding girls from Stardew Valley, it seems you've already met most of them. I was so surprised I thought you weren't very good at socializing, so I specially prepared this dinner for you today so you can expand your social circle."

"So you really plan to organize a social for me." Lyon looked at Jodi with a wry smile. He had thought Jodi was joking before, but who would have thought that this lady was serious.

"That's not the case. I just think you should get to know some young people of your age. If my son Sam and his friends hadn't had to go to band rehearsal tonight, I would have invited the boys over. It seems we'll have to do it next time." Jody explained with a smile.

"No need, just once is enough. This kind of scene is too lively. I like it to be quiet." Leon shook his head and declined the suggestion. Last time he agreed to Jodie's request to attend her dinner party, but he happened to be hungry, so he came out this time.

Otherwise, Leon would lie on the farm until he was really hungry, then he would find something to eat, and after eating, he would lie down on the bed.

"You don't like socializing? Okay then." Jody felt a little disappointed when he heard that, but he didn't force it. It can be seen that Jody still listens to advice and pays attention to the attitudes of others.

"It's not that I don't like socializing, it's just that I have a lot of things to do and can't spare the time. To be honest, I've only had a quick bite this morning and have been busy all this time on an empty stomach. I don't even have enough time to eat. How much time do you think I have for social activities?"

Leon explained to Jody in a low voice, and did not forget to comfort Jody: "I appreciate your kindness. When the farm's operation is stable in the future, I will go out and make friends on my own. You don't have to worry about me on this matter."

"Well, you are a really hardworking young man. But you still have to eat well. Wait for me." Jody looked at Leon with concern after hearing this.

This young man, who was about the same age as her eldest son, came to Stardew Valley alone when her eldest son was still making trouble, and took on the task of reviving an old farm. Under such heavy pressure, he was still able to maintain an optimistic and polite attitude, which made Jody's maternal love overflow.

"Do not".

Before Leon could finish his words, Jody stood up and left the room. Jody's departure made the atmosphere in the room suddenly become much quieter.

The girls who were talking and laughing before now spoke much softer because of Leon's appearance.

Leon didn't mean to disturb them. He had no social needs now, only the need to eat.

But he didn't go to find the girls. Some of the girls didn't want to let Leon go. First, Abigail walked to the seat next to Leon and sat down and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"What do you think?" Leon complained weakly, leaning back in his chair like a salted fish. "Hey, some people haven't arrived yet. You might have to wait a while. I hope you don't starve to death." Abigail teased Leon with a grin.

"." Leon raised his middle finger at Abigail speechlessly. Abigail was not angry, but smiled even more happily: "You can starve here, I'll go out for some fresh air."

After saying that, Abigail also left, leaving Leon alone again, leaning back in his chair and staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

As if thinking that Leon was too idle, another figure appeared in the seat next to Leon. Leon glanced and saw the big wavy blonde hair, and knew that it was Haley.

"You don't look well. Of course, I'm not concerned about you, I just think your condition is strange, so I came to ask." Haley sat down and asked about Leon's expression at the first moment. She deliberately emphasized her own thoughts and her way of speaking was full of tsundere style.

"Hungry." Leon uttered two short words to explain his situation.

"Hungry? Didn't you eat anything at noon?" Haley looked at Leon in surprise and asked.

"It should be said that we haven't eaten since we met at the old community center." Leon replied: "Okay, I have answered your questions, you can leave now. I don't want to talk now. I really don't have the energy."

“Then why don’t you go to the front and order food, and eat something to fill your stomach in advance?” Haili had no intention of letting Leon go, and looked at Leon with disgust: “You are not reluctant to spend money on food, are you?”

"When someone else is treating you, you eat in front of the host before she starts the meal. Have you considered the host's face and thoughts?" Leon complained to Haley with disdain.

Haley's blood pressure suddenly rose after being choked by Leon's words, but she couldn't find any fault with what Leon said. She could only glare at Leon angrily, then got up and left the room.

All of a sudden, the three people who had been talking to Leon left, leaving only Leonlia and Maru in the room, and the atmosphere became even more silent and awkward.

The two girls didn't know what was going on and didn't even have the mood to chat. They sat silently in their seats, looking around, not knowing whether they should leave or wait here for others to come back.

Leon also noticed the reserved attitude of the two girls, and he explained with all his strength: "Jody should have gone to pick up the others, Abigail went out to get some fresh air, she can't sit still, and as for Haley, she should have gone to see her sister."

"That's it."

After hearing Leon's explanation, Maru and Leah breathed a sigh of relief that these people who went out had their own reasons and it was not for any special reason.

Because Leon spoke first, the two of them noticed that something was not right with Leon and wanted to ask him, but since they had just met, they didn't know how to start.

So at this moment, the atmosphere fell into silence again.
