A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 333: Drop! Nice Guy Card

"It's okay, it was just a casual chat. There's no need to apologize for such a thing." Leon hurriedly comforted Claire.

Emily also helped Claire change the subject at this moment: "By the way, you want to pay the bill, right? Let me calculate the cost for you."

"Thank you." Claire breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. After thanking Leon, she came to Emily and told her what she had ordered.

"Hello, ma'am, your total consumption is 22G." After finding Claire's bill and confirming the price of the food on it, Emily gave the total consumption.

Claire nodded, then began rummaging through her coat pockets, trying to get her wallet to pay.

But after groping around for a while, Claire's expression froze, because her wallet, which she usually kept in her right pocket, was gone!

It was then that Claire remembered that she had left her wallet in the closet when she changed clothes after get off work and forgot to take it out. She immediately panicked.

It was his first time to eat at the Stardrop Salon, and everything here was unfamiliar to him. He wanted to explain the situation to Emily, but was worried that Emily would think she was lying to her.

Just as cold sweat broke out on Claire's forehead and she didn't know how to explain, she noticed that Leon actually took out 22G and handed it to Emily.

"I paid her bill as a token of my gratitude for her support. After all, it's hard to find a true friend, and it's a happy thing for me that someone agrees with my views."

Listening to Leon's words, Claire's face turned red, not because of shyness, but because of embarrassment.

She understood that Leon must have seen her embarrassment, so he came to her rescue on purpose. He said this just to save his face.

This made Claire very grateful to Leon. After all, she and Leon had only met a few times and exchanged a few words. Let alone friends, they might not even be acquaintances. And the help from such a half-stranger, especially when the other party was a handsome guy with a very high appearance, Claire felt completely socially dead.

She did not blame Leon for the shame, but kept blaming herself in her heart, which made her feel embarrassed and ashamed at the moment.

But staying here would only make it more embarrassing, so Claire thought it would be best to leave quickly. However, before leaving, she walked to Leon and whispered, “Thank you, I will return the money to you.”

After saying that, without waiting for Leon to answer, he ran away with his face covered.

Looking at Claire's embarrassed escape, Leon smiled and shook his head, not caring about Claire's message.

In his opinion, this was just a small matter. 22G was not a lot of money. Being able to use it to help others out of trouble was also a good deed.

And Emily couldn’t help but teased: “Leon, I didn’t expect you to be such a gentleman.”

"I think if I forget to bring money one day and you happen to be by my side, you will not refuse to help me, right?" Leon asked back.

"Hahaha, that's true, but we are friends, and this lady, are you friends with her too?" Emily complained with a smile.

"Not really, I've only met her a few times. But that doesn't stop me from helping her. After all, I'm a good person." Leon replied with a shrug.

"That's why I think you're a gentleman," Emily added. "A gentleman is a gentleman, then." Leon was relieved by Emily's address.

The world's culture is different. The gentleman in this world should have its original meaning, rather than the gentleman defined in her own world as distorted by the ACG circle. The gentleman in Emily's mouth should be a commendatory word.

After chatting with Emily for a while, this insignificant episode was forgotten by the two of them. When Guts brought the food that Leon ordered, Leon quickly finished it, paid the bill, said goodbye to Emily, and left the Stardrop Salon.

Lyon, who had just gotten on his bike at the door and was about to go home, found himself stopped by someone.

The person who intercepted her was Claire, who had covered her face and escaped before.

"Mr. Leon, I'm sorry to bother you for a moment." Seeing Leon's puzzled expression, Claire spoke softly.

Then Leon saw her take out her wallet, and then found two banknotes and two coins, and handed them to Leon with both hands: "This is the meal money you paid for me before, I'm here to pay you back."

"Yeah." Lyon did not refuse, but accepted the money generously.

Although Leon didn't care about the money, Claire obviously did, so in order to relieve Claire's psychological burden, Leon naturally had to take the money.

"Thank you, Mr. Lyon. Without your help, I don't know what I would have done next." Seeing Lyon accept the money, Claire breathed a sigh of relief and her expression became much more relaxed.

"It's okay. I didn't lose anything anyway. And it's good that you found your wallet. I was worried that you would be forced to sleep on the street because you didn't have your wallet." Leon comforted Claire with a smile.

Leon was not saying this casually. He remembered that Claire did not live in Pelican Town and she took the bus from other places to go to work every day. He found out about this one morning when Leon was heading from the farm to Pelican Town and noticed Claire getting off the bus at the bus station.

"I'm sorry to have worried you. You're such a good person." Claire couldn't help but smile when she heard that, and praised Leon at the same time.

"Okay, don't be polite. Go back and rest early." Looking at the dark circles on Claire's eyes, Leon couldn't help but dissuade her. After all, the dark circles were too serious. If this girl didn't get enough sleep, Leon was really worried that one day he would hear the news of her sudden death.

Although they were just an acquaintance, seeing a familiar face die from overwork was a huge shock.

It turns out that Joja is not a good company. They exploit their own employees into this state. It turned out that it was the right decision for me to resign from Joja.

"Well, goodbye, Mr. Lyon, I wish you a sweet dream." Claire didn't know how to end the topic at the moment. After hearing what was said, she also said goodbye.

"Well, goodbye, and I wish you a sweet dream." Leon nodded and responded to Claire, and then saw Claire move her body to make way.

Claire didn't leave, and Leon guessed it was because he was there, so he rode away first.

But after riding a short distance, he turned around and looked behind him, and saw Claire also walking towards him, so he looked away.

Claire actually noticed Leon looking back, and she couldn't help but smile and thought: "Mr. Leon is such a gentle man."
