A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 670 Raid
After helping Sophia check for allergies and making sure there was no problem inside her mouth, Leon noticed Sophia rolling her eyes just as he was about to pick up the bowl and fork.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Leon asked doubtfully, wanting to get closer to Sophia's face to see if there was anything wrong that he hadn't noticed.

But before Leon could get close, Sofia stretched out her hands and pushed Leon away forcefully, and replied with a straight face: "I'm fine, thank you."

“Oh.” Leon didn’t continue after hearing that. He responded and shrank back.

This obedient look made Sophia even angrier. She puffed out her cheeks, lifted up the goblet placed beside her, and poured a big mouthful of wine into her throat. Then she raised her fork, picked up half a mushroom from the pot, and stuffed it into her mouth without even blowing on it.

"Wow, it's hot."

As expected, Sophia was so burned by the hot mushrooms that they soaked up the soup that she stuck out her tongue. She took a few deep breaths and quickly drank a big sip of wine, which made her tongue feel a little better.

The child's appearance made Leon shake his head. He ran to the refrigerator to find a bottle of refrigerated milk, opened the bottle cap, and handed it to Sophia.

"Drink this, and open your mouth so I can see if you have any blisters."

"I don't want milk, I want wine." Sophia took a step back, raised the glass in her hand and protested: "I'm not a child anymore."

"The milk helps mitigate the effects of the spiciness and also cools your mouth," Lyon explains.

"I'm fine, I just got burned. If you don't believe me, look." After hearing Leon's explanation, Sophia stuck out her tongue and showed it to Leon. Apart from some redness, there was nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, I'll put the milk here, and you can choose it yourself."

Noticing that Sophia didn't look in pain and her tongue was normal, Leon didn't force her. However, during the rest of the meal, Leon still kept an eye on Sophia to prevent her from making another mistake of putting food into her mouth without blowing on it.

Fortunately, Sophia learned her lesson after being scalded just now. Before eating, she would blow air to cool the food quickly, and then slurp the food at the right temperature into her mouth.

"Here, wipe your nose."

After eating for a while, Leon brought a napkin from the table to Sophia. Not long after eating, the girl's nose began to sniff, obviously because the spicy food had opened her eyes.

"Yeah." Sophia took the napkin and washed her nose. Then, a little embarrassedly, she threw the used napkin into the trash can and whispered, "It's just the spiciness. I don't have a cold."

"I know. If it's really too spicy, I'll pour you a cup of hot water. You can rinse it in the hot water before eating, or drink more milk and less alcohol." Leon comforted her. It is normal to have a runny nose after eating spicy hot pot. Some people who can't eat spicy food will even shed small pearls in addition to runny nose.

The reason why I persuaded Sophia to drink less was because her face was as red as a monkey's butt, and it was obvious that she had drunk too much.

"Oh."

This time Sophia did not refute. She obediently put down the high-heeled glass with only the bottom of the cup left, and replaced it with milk, sipping it in small sips.

The hotpot meal took a long time to finish, and the soup base in the pot had to be added with beef bone soup twice before all the prepared ingredients were finished.

Leon ate most of it, and Sophia ate a lot too, but her fighting ability was still a little worse than Leon's. She stopped eating early, brought a chair, and leaned back, shaking her head.

"If you can't drink, don't drink. Girls have to protect themselves too."

After tidying up a bit and closing the stove, Leon walked over to Sophia, helped her up, and complained as he saw her unsteady steps and dazed look in her eyes.

“Oh.” Sophia responded dazedly, then leaned on Leon’s chest and asked, “Leon, are you going back?” “I’ll take you back to your room first, and help you check the situation outside before leaving.”

Leon comforted Sophia, but Sophia was still a little tipsy and Leon didn't dare to leave.

"I can take care of myself." Sophia rubbed her face against Leon's and retorted unconvincedly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Leon said perfunctorily while putting Sophia's arm on his shoulder, intending to help her go upstairs to rest, but Sophia obviously didn't want to cooperate and kept pushing Leon, trying to show that she could still act on her own.

Leon had no choice but to squat down, put his left hand under Sophia's legs, and put his right hand around Sophia's arms, picking her up like a princess, finally making the girl calm down.

After leaving the kitchen and walking around the living room, Leon went up the stairs to the second floor and stopped at the end of the stairs.

There is an aisle corridor on both sides of the top of the stairs. The left side is blocked tightly by boxes of various sizes, while the right side is unobstructed, which should lead to Sophia's room.

As for the left side, it is not difficult to guess that it should be the former room of Sophia's parents.

Leon paused for only a short while, then carried Sophia towards her room. However, Sophia, who was lying safely in Leon's arms, started to become dishonest again. She struggled and shook her legs, and her hands were pulling at Leon and yelling.

"Put me down."

"I'll let you down in your room," Leon advised.

"I don't want it. I want to get off now." Sophia muttered to herself, and her struggles became more and more intense. Leon had no choice but to put her down.

After escaping, Sophia lost her balance and sat down on the ground. Fortunately, Leon supported her and she did not fall.

Sophia, who had just landed, stared blankly at the direction blocked by the pile of boxes, her eyes becoming moist.

But Sophia did not cry, nor did she wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. She just stared blankly in the direction where her parents used to live.

Seeing this, Leon didn't say anything. He sat next to Sophia and waited for Sophia to speak.

After a long time, Sophia said to Leon: “Leon, do you think the parents that the stone showed me are illusions or real parents?”

"It's real." After a systematic appraisal, Leon was very sure about the effect of the Resurrection Stone. It was much more reliable than the Resurrection Stone from another world with the same name.

"So what Mom and Dad said is what they wanted to tell me?" Sophia asked.

"That should be the case." Leon didn't know what Sophia's parents said, but the proposals from these two people should not be bad for Sophia.

As soon as Lyon answered, Sophia suddenly pounced on him.

The speed was very fast, but Lyon saw it clearly. He only needed to raise his hand to block Sophia's attack, but Lyon did not feel threatened by Sophia, so he did not stop her.

Leon thought that only Sophia felt aggrieved and wanted to find someone to rely on.

But the next moment, facing Sophia's next move after she pounced on him, Leon's brain crashed, because after pounced on him, Sophia actually pressed her red lips directly on Leon's mouth.

It was soft and a little spicy, no extra techniques involved, just the simple connection of two people's lips.
