A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 196 Lunch
As the saying goes, listening to advice is the key to a good meal. Leon is a person who listens to advice, so after Demetrius said this, Leon slipped away without looking back.

However, he did not wander around the house. Instead, he went to the dining room and found Robin who was preparing tableware. He helped him set the plates and put down the tablecloth.

"I'm almost done here, Leon, can you help me call Maru and ask if they are ready to eat?" After setting the last set of tableware, Robin said to Leon.

"I don't know which room she's in," Leon replied with a shrug.

"It's the room on the left at the end of the corridor," Robin explained.

"it is good."

After learning the exact location, Leon walked directly towards Maru's room. When he arrived at her door, he knocked softly.

"Leon?" Maru opened the door and saw that it was Leon who knocked on the door. She was stunned and it took her a long time to react: "Why are you here?"

"I was passing by and chatted with Robin for a while, and she invited me to have dinner with her."

Leon explained, then looked at the cut-resistant gloves on Maru's hands and the oil stains on his overalls and asked, "What are you researching?"

"I'm making your water pump. It's almost finished." Maru hid his gloves behind his back a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I didn't know you were here."

"I'm not in a hurry, and you don't have to rush either. Wash your hands and get ready to eat." Leon looked at Maru helplessly and reminded her.

"Yeah." Maru nodded, but did not move. He just stood there.

This made Leon a little confused, but after a moment, he roughly understood Maru's idea and turned around and walked towards the restaurant first. Maru also started to move the moment Leon turned around, went around to what seemed to be the bathroom and pushed the door in.

After returning to the restaurant and sitting down, Leon saw Robin pulling the guy with side bangs. The guy looked reluctant, but under Robin's enthusiastic attitude, he still sat down on the chair obediently.

"Leon, meet me, this is my son, Sebastian. Sebastian, this is Leon, the farmer who recently moved to Stardew Valley."

Seeing Leon appear, Robin immediately helped introduce the two to each other enthusiastically.

Leon nodded in a friendly manner to Sebastian, who also nodded slightly in response.

Robin felt helpless about this, so he looked at Leon and found that Leon's expression had not changed, which made Robin feel relieved.

"Leon, where are you going to sit?" His son ignored Leon, so Robin, as half the master of the house, naturally took on the task of entertaining Leon.

Leon observed the position of the tableware on the dining table and finally chose to sit at the edge on the left.

"I'll just sit here."

Robin looked at the spot that Liang had chosen, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

At that moment, Demetrius came out of the kitchen with food. After placing the dishes on the table, Demetrius subconsciously glanced at Leon's seat, and his expression suddenly became very strange. Just as Demetrius was about to say something, Maru, who had changed into casual clothes, appeared in the restaurant. After seeing where Leon was sitting, he smiled and said, "Leon, why are you sitting in my seat?"

"Ah?" Leon was a little surprised when he heard this. The position he chose was closer to the corner. Who would have thought that this position was Maru's usual position.

"Hahaha, does it feel weird? Actually, I always like to read something while eating. It won't affect my family if I do it here." Maru explained.

Leon was about to stand up to make room, but Maru came up and pushed Leon down: "It's okay, if you want to sit here, just sit. I don't plan to read while eating today anyway, it's okay."

As she spoke, Maru took the seat next to Leon and comforted him, "It's the same wherever you do it."

"Maru, please sit next to me today." Demetrius couldn't help but whispered to Maru when he saw this scene.

"No, Dad, I still have something to discuss with Leon. I won't disturb you if I sit closer." Maru declined his father's suggestion, but still stood up and said to Demetrius, "Let me help you with the dishes."

Demetrius nodded immediately after hearing this, and then went into the kitchen with Maru. After waiting for more than a minute, Maru and Demetrius came out with the dishes, and Leon noticed that Maru looked a little uncomfortable at the moment.

But what surprised Leon was that Maru still sat next to him, completely unaware of his father's ugly expression.

"I think you should listen to your father." Leon didn't want to be attacked by Demetrius while he was eating, so he reminded Maru from the bottom of his heart.

"No, I've already explained everything to him. We're friends, and he's overthinking it." Malu explained, waving her hands. "If I really avoid you, then that would confirm his misunderstanding, and we might not even be friends anymore."

"What did Mr. Demetrius misunderstand?" Although Leon knew the specific situation, he still wanted to find Maru to confirm it, so as to avoid his own speculation failing and making a guess that was completely unrelated to the issue they were discussing in the kitchen and embarrassing Maru.

"Nothing, let's eat." Maru lowered his head shyly and said perfunctorily to Leon.

OK! Seeing this expression, Leon understood that his guess was correct. Demetrius really was playing a straight game in the kitchen and asked whether their relationship had developed beyond friendship.

Although I don't know how Maru answered, it shouldn't be a big problem, otherwise Demetrius would have talked to me privately by now.

Lyon pretended to know nothing and followed Maru's instructions to enjoy his lunch. The lunch looked quite rich. Although it was mostly green vegetables, it was quite exotic when paired with Demetrius' secret sauce.

During the meal, Malu was also whispering with Leon about the water pump problem. Just as she said, she and Leon sat close just to chat.

As for Maru's conversation, Leon tried his best to cooperate. After all, this was something he needed, and Maru was very concerned about his requirements for the water pump. Based on practical considerations, Leon still gave Maru some suggestions.

But this normal conversation was full of ambiguous filters in Demetrius' eyes, which made him so angry that he tightly gripped the knife and fork in his hand and glared at Leon.

Robin looked worried as he watched from the side, while Sebastian, who was content to eat and watch, stared at his stepfather, stepsister, and Leon with great interest, and couldn't help but reveal a smile that only people who like to have fun could have.

　The temperature has dropped suddenly recently, and I'm feeling unwell. The updates will be slower, but I should be able to guarantee five updates. If not, I'll make up for it later, so don't panic.

　　I'd also like to thank Hao Ye Zhi Yue for his 500 Qidian coins and Hei Shen Lei for his 100 Qidian coins. Thank you both for your support and encouragement, but I still think the reward is unnecessary. With that amount of money, I could have subscribed to four or five chapters. You guys just don't listen to my advice at all.
