A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 47 I just want to eat in peace
"What's the matter that requires me to come out?"

Despite saying this, Leon still stood up and walked out.

When Leon saw Haley outside the door holding a small plate of pasta, he was stunned.

"Here, a small portion of pasta. It's enough to fill your stomach before dinner. My sister and I were chatting about your embarrassing hunger, so she asked me to bring it to you."

Haley still had a look of disgust on her face as she forced the pasta into Leon's hand, and also gave it a fork.

Leon looked at Haley. Although she had a look of disgust on her face, the blush on her cheeks was so conspicuous. It was obvious that this girl was shy, so what she said was not so credible.

But faced with this situation, Lyon was a little helpless. Although this portion of pasta was small, it was still real carbohydrates and was not easy to store.

Someone brought it to me specially. If I don't eat it, it will hurt my feelings. If I eat it, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat much at the dinner party later. I'm very conflicted.

Haili didn't know what Leon was thinking. She just watched Leon holding the plate with a tangled look on his face. When Leon didn't move his fork for a long time, she suddenly became annoyed: "Do you despise my sister's kindness?"

"No, I'm just a little moved and can't bear to put it into my mouth."

Leon said something perfunctory, which directly offset Haley's anger. Haley, whose face turned red in an instant, stammered and said, "Food is meant to be eaten, so you can think about it here. I'm going back."

With that, Haley trotted into the room as if escaping, leaving Leon alone hesitating in the aisle with the small portion of pasta.

In the end, Leon felt that it was stupid to stand there with such a bowl of pasta, so he picked up the fork, rolled up the pasta, put it into his mouth quickly, and ate it clean.

Then he walked the plates and forks along the aisle to the front hall and quietly placed them in front of the bar before returning to the separate private room used for the dinner.

As soon as he entered, Leon noticed that everyone in the room subconsciously looked towards him, and when Haley saw him appear, she stood up and walked over, forcefully grabbed Leon's arm and dragged him out of the room.

Haley's action scared Leon, but what surprised him even more was the girl's amazing strength.

"You don't even wipe your mouth after eating. There's sauce on your mouth."

As soon as Haley dragged him out of the door, she let go of Leon's arm and pointed at the corner of Leon's mouth to remind him.

Hearing this, Leon subconsciously stretched out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, he tasted some sauce and shrugged immediately: "I really didn't notice this. I'll go find a tissue to wipe it off."

"Use this." Haley hesitated for a moment, then took out a handkerchief embroidered with sunflowers and handed it to Leon.

Leon looked at the handkerchief but didn't reach out to take it, mainly because he didn't know how to react to Haley's action. After all, a girl's handkerchief is a personal item.

Seeing Leon's stunned look, Haley stomped her feet anxiously. Then, regardless of whether Leon was willing to use it or not, she stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand, rudely wiping the sauce remaining on the corner of Leon's mouth with her handkerchief.

Then Haley didn't care about the stains on the handkerchief. She casually crumpled it up and put it away. Then she walked around Leon and went back as if nothing had happened.

As for Leon, he sighed helplessly, and felt a headache when he smelled the lingering perfume on his nose.

"Am I being teased?"

However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and Leon put it behind him and returned to the room.

Haley had already sat down at this moment, but compared with the others, she seemed a little out of place. She did not participate in the girls' conversation. Except for Jodie who occasionally talked to Haley, most of the other girls didn't pay much attention to Haley.

This unexpected discovery made Lyon feel a little sympathetic towards the girl, but he could also understand the reason.

Hailey's temperament and attitude towards others, unless she is close enough to someone who understands her true nature, are basically unacceptable to her attitude when she is with ordinary people. In this regard, Leon did not sit down to relieve Hailey's embarrassment because it would be inappropriate and would easily anger Hailey and make her feel that she is being pitied.

On the contrary, Leon's choice to sit here alone was the best option. After all, when there are two people who are out of tune with the crowd in a social occasion, the only person who was isolated will seem less conspicuous.

This situation lasted for half an hour, and the dinner officially began when Emily and Penny appeared.

Before the dinner started, there was naturally an opening speech from the host, Jody. However, when Jody was about to introduce Leon to Penny, he was surprised to find that Penny also knew Leon. And judging from the naturalness with which Penny and Leon greeted each other, it was obvious that they were more than just ordinary acquaintances.

So Jody gave up the idea of ​​continuing to warm up the audience and started the dinner directly.

The food was delivered by Gus himself. After seeing the scene of seven women and one man, Gus was stunned for a while. Finally, before serving the dishes and leaving, he secretly gave Leon a thumbs up.

Lyon didn't notice Gus's approval. At this moment, he was squeezing the remaining space in his stomach, converting the delicious food into nutrition to fill his taste buds.

Lyon is very experienced in dining. Table greetings can be considered after eating. Filling the stomach is the most important thing first.

It's a pity that the wind does not stop even when the tree wants to be still. Before Emily and Penny came, Leon was sitting alone on one side, but after the two of them appeared, they sat directly on the empty seats on both sides of Leon, surrounding Leon on both sides. At the same time, while Leon was working hard to eat, the two of them were not idle either.

“Leon, I didn’t expect you to come. So this is the surprise Jody mentioned.”

"Oh? Didn't you know I was coming?"

"I don't know. Haley didn't tell me when we met. She just asked me for a small portion of pasta."

"That's it."

"Then you've also met my sister Haley, the blonde girl over there. She might look difficult to get along with, but she's a very nice person. I'll introduce you to her later."

"Ah."

As soon as I finished greeting Emily, Penny followed suit and joined in the conversation.

"Leon, how do the cookies taste? Is there anything that needs to be improved?"

“It tastes great, and your cooking is amazing.”

"But compared to Gus, it's probably far inferior. Just look at how you're eating now. Gus is indeed the best chef in our town."

"That's because I'm hungry."

"Are you hungry? I can get you anything you want to eat."

"No, I'll do it myself."

While eating and dealing with the conversation between the two, Lyon really felt tired.

The worst thing is that the interaction between the three of them is quite eye-catching in this small dinner party. Leon has seen Haley's contemptuous eyes, Abigail's playful smile and Jodie's aunt's smile more than once, plus the curious eyes of Leah and Maru, which makes him feel tormented.

When they were almost full, Leon immediately used the excuse of going to the bathroom as an excuse and fled the room at the speed of light.
