A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 121 Hate? Not Hate?

While Leon was still wondering how long Haley's neck would remain twisted to the right, Emily came out of the kitchen with a tray of food.

"Leon, try this breakfast to see if it suits your taste."

She placed one in front of Leon and the other in front of Hailey, then Emily sat down and spoke to Leon.

"it is good."

Leon looked at the beautiful sandwich in front of him and began to taste it under Emily's expectant gaze.

The first bite you take is of soft bread filled with the aroma of wheat. As your teeth sink, you are greeted by the sweet and sour taste of fresh tomatoes and the delicate flavor of cream. This is followed by the crispy bacon filled with the aroma of fat and pork, and finally the soft bread.

The overall taste is well-defined and the flavor is sweet, but this sweetness comes from the ingredients themselves, which Lyon can accept. The taste is just average, but it is definitely good for breakfast.

The important thing is that this sandwich is very filling. After eating one, Lyon will probably be able to last for a long time.

Emily, on her side, had been keeping an eye on Leon. Although Leon had never commented on the taste of the sandwich, the way he chewed and swallowed it in big mouthfuls was enough to explain everything.

On the other side, Hailey was eating a sandwich, glancing at Emily and Leon from time to time. She found that her sister's eyes were basically on Leon, which made her unable to help but ask: "Emily, is there no hot milk today?"

"Of course, it's in the kitchen, go get it yourself," Emily replied.

"Oh." Haley muttered, but did not get up to get the milk. She continued to sit there and chew on the sandwich in her hand, which was obviously half the size of Leon's.

Seeing this, Emily looked at Haley helplessly, and finally stood up and went to the kitchen herself, got a cup of hot milk for Haley and placed it in front of her.

"You have a good relationship."

Leon saw this and said to Emily.

"Well, it should be pretty good." Emily replied with a hesitant expression.

Haley didn't say anything, but just ate her sandwich silently. As for the hot milk she asked for, she didn't even touch it.

This scene made Leon see some clues, but he was smart and knew what to say and what not to say, so he had to pretend not to see it.

After finishing the sandwich in his hand, Leon thanked Emily: "It's a great breakfast. This will be of great help to my work for the day. Thank you for your hospitality, Emily. I have to go now."

"Wait, Leon, aren't you staying here for lunch?" Emily asked hurriedly.

"No, there is still a lot of work to do." Lyon shook his head and declined.

"But didn't we make an appointment?" Emily reminded with some disappointment.

"Yes, but this breakfast is enough as a reward, and I have no other reason to wait here for lunch, so I have to leave first." Leon explained.

"Of course you have a reason. How about a friend's invitation?" Emily immediately helped Leon think of one.

"It's a good reason, but I'm using busy work as an excuse for not being able to keep the appointment. Emily, can you cancel this invitation?" Hearing that Emily insisted on keeping him for lunch, Leon had to once again bring up the universal reason of inconvenience.

Emily looked at Yanang deeply after hearing this, and finally replied with regret: "Okay, then we'll make an appointment next time."

"Yeah." Leon breathed a sigh of relief and then stood up.

"Well, Emily and Haley, I'll be leaving first. Thank you for your hospitality. By the way, don't forget to ask Robin to look into the roof issue."

After reminding Emily not to forget that the leaking roof had not been completely repaired, Leon left the villa.

As soon as Leon left, Haley put down the sandwich she had eaten half of and stood up: "I'm full." Then she went to the door without looking back, changed her shoes, and went out, just in time to run into Leon who was riding a bicycle and getting ready to set off.

"Leon, wait."

Looking at Leon who had already ridden several meters away, Haley hurriedly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Haley's cry, Leon stopped the bike, turned around and looked at Haley and asked.

"Come here first and talk. It's embarrassing to shout like that." Haley stretched out her hand and gestured to indicate the distance between them.

Leon was a little helpless, but he still rode his bike to Hailey: “Tell me, what’s the matter?”

"Are you really busy?" Haley looked at Leon and asked directly.

"Yes." Lyon thought that he might take advantage of the improvement in his physical strength to expand the planting area again, and nodded seriously.

"Is it urgent?" Haley asked.

"It's not too urgent. Just tell me what you want to say." Leon didn't know what else to say, but this question-and-answer format was quite time-consuming, so Leon directly signaled Haley not to beat around the bush.

"Emily knew you were coming to visit yesterday, so she started preparing the ingredients for today's lunch after work and was busy until the early morning. Obviously, she is looking forward to you joining us for lunch. If you leave like this, Emily will be very disappointed." Haley looked at Leon seriously and said.

"If you don't want to stay here because of my problem, I can hide and come back after you leave tonight, but can you accompany Emily to finish lunch before going to work? I don't want to see her hard work and preparations for half a day last night go to waste."

Listening to Haili's words, Leon was stunned and silent for a long time before he said, "Why do you think I'm in a hurry to leave because of you?"

"Don't you hate me?" Haley asked Leon in confusion.

"Do I hate you?" Leon complained with some confusion.

"."

Haili was obviously confused by Leon’s answer. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She said with an awkward expression: “I thought you hated me, so you rejected Emily’s invitation.”

"I felt that I had already had breakfast, and it would be embarrassing to stay for lunch," Leon explained.

There was no way. After all, Haley had already said such sincere words that she would leave alone so that her sister's careful preparation would not be wasted. Naturally, Leon was embarrassed to be perfunctory.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Emily invited you here, so you're the guest." Haley said seriously.

"Then I'll come back later. You don't have to leave. Tell Emily that I will accept the lunch invitation." Leon thought for a moment after hearing this, and finally decided to stay for lunch.

After all, beauty is the most difficult to resist. Haley's description of Emily's efforts made Leon feel a little ashamed. If he refused again, he would seem unkind.

"Why do you have to wait before coming over?" Haley asked puzzledly.

"How can I visit someone without a gift? I have to go back and prepare some, and change into some decent clothes." Leon explained, "I can't come to the banquet in casual clothes. I'll feel inferior in front of you two beautiful girls."

"No, aren't you fine like this?"

Haley looked at the clothes on Leon. Although they were not trendy brands, they were not ugly. Leon's tall and well-proportioned figure could support the clothes, making him look very energetic. In Haley's opinion, Leon was not picky about clothes at all. Just relying on his appearance and body proportions comparable to a model, any clothes he wore had a unique beauty.

"That's because you haven't seen me in formal attire. I have to go now. Oh, and you shouldn't leave either. It would be awkward if Emily and I were the only ones at lunch."

After Leon finished speaking, he waved goodbye to Haley and then rode his bike towards the farm. Since he had decided to attend the party, Leon had to make some preparations.
