A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 454 Sophia's Bet
"Ah."

After hearing Maru's answer, Leon was sure that this hint might have only blocked Sophia. Then the result came out. The girl implied in this hint should be Sophia.

"Why is there such a sentence on a graffiti?" Maru looked at the abstract object in front of him, never thinking that it was a treasure map.

"Maybe it's the beginning of some unfinished modern poem." Leon said nonsense casually.

"If that's the case, then this poem must be very sad." Maru actually believed it.

"Yeah, it should be very sad." Lyon sighed helplessly and agreed.

"Sophia just came to the clinic and bought antidepressants, right?"

Thinking of the girl who gave this hint, Leon couldn't help but ask Maru.

"I can't tell you because of the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement." Malu replied with an embarrassed look on his face, but still added another sentence.

"The medicine you asked about last time was probably found in her home."

"Well, I know Sophia's situation. I won't ask anything else. I just want to ask, is the illness serious?" Leon nodded, then looked at Maru seriously and asked.

"Uh" Maru was a little conflicted at the moment. On the one hand, she wanted to tell Leon the answer, but on the other hand, she was troubled by the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement.

"It's okay, don't worry about it. I was too talkative." Leon didn't feel disappointed about this. Instead, he admired Maru's attitude. If he also met such a reliable medical staff, his sense of security would definitely be maximized.

"I'm leaving now. Thank you for your book. I'll return it to you after I finish reading it."

"Leon!"

After saying goodbye to Maru, Leon was about to leave, but before leaving, Maru suddenly shouted. Leon turned around and saw Maru shaking his head slightly.

"Thanks."

Although Maru didn't say anything, from this small action, Leon knew that Sophia's depression was not serious. He immediately felt relieved and did not forget to express his gratitude to Maru.

Maru didn't say anything else, just waved goodbye to Leon and watched Leon leave the clinic.

When Leon came out of the clinic, he saw Sophia playing Qin Wang around the pillar with Da Huang under the tree. Looking at her happy smile at the moment, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

To be fair, Sophia's cute face really suits a smile. When she smiles, Sophia is full of the youthfulness and energy of a young girl.

"Leon, are you done? What are you doing in the clinic?"

After smelling Leon's scent, Dahuang immediately ran towards Leon. Sophia, who was chasing Dahuang, also saw Leon's appearance at this moment, but when she thought about Leon just entering the clinic, her expression seemed a little unnatural.

She was a little afraid that Leon would inquire about her condition when he went to the clinic, and she was even more afraid that Leon would start to distance himself from her after knowing that she had a mental illness.

"I'm going to borrow a book from Maru, the Stardew Valley Geography Atlas. With this book, we can refer to the map above to check the areas these lines may depict."

Leon explained to Sophia with a smile, and then held up the book in his hand as proof.

Hearing this answer, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief: "No wonder I met you at the door of the clinic."

"Yeah, that's what a coincidence, but it might also be arranged by Ba to let you join my treasure hunting team." Leon joked.

"Can we really find this place?" Sophia asked uncertainly.

"Yes, you have to believe me." Leon walked up to Sofia and patted her head. Sofia was not tall, so Leon didn't even need to raise his hand to touch her forehead. "Hate it, I'm not a child, don't touch me." Sofia slapped Leon's hand away with disgust, but the slap was not very strong, which proved that she didn't really hate Leon's actions, but was just a little uncomfortable.

"Sorry, it was a subconscious action. After all, I have practiced this action countless times in my mind. The object of my fantasy is my sister, whom I have never seen or appeared." Leon explained with a smile.

"Do you really want a sister so much?" After hearing Leon's answer, Sophia looked up at Leon and complained.

"Yeah, it would be even better if she could be as cute as you." Leon nodded in confirmation.

"Hmph, then I'll give you a chance. As long as you can find this treasure within today, I will call you brother." Sophia snorted and then proposed to Leon.

"Okay, but you should have additional conditions." Hearing Sophia's request, Leon raised his eyebrows and asked.

“Of course, if you don’t succeed, you have to call me sister.” Sophia bared her teeth and challenged Leon: “How about it? Do you dare to accept it?”

"No problem." Lyon agreed to the proposal without fear.

To Leon, it made no difference whether they were sisters or younger sisters. He just wanted to get closer to Sophia. As for whether they were siblings or brother and sister, it didn't matter. There would be no harm in calling them that.

Moreover, when he knew that the girl in the hint was Sophia, Leon was already 80% sure. With such a high winning rate in this bet, the advantage was in his hands, and Leon was not afraid at all.

"Then what should we do next?" After hearing Leon's agreement, Sophia immediately jumped happily on the spot, and then asked Leon.

"Just check the map first."

As Leon said this, he held Da Huang and invited Sophia: “Do you want to get in the car? I’ll take you to the library. It’s a quiet place and suitable for reading.”

"Your bicycle doesn't have a back seat." Sophia complained while looking at Leon's bicycle.

"Can't we sit here?" Lyon said as he got on the bike and pointed at the horizontal bar in front of the seat.

"No, this is too ambiguous." Looking at the horizontal bar, Sophia blushed just thinking about the scene after sitting down.

"It's okay. I have to hold the handlebars of the bicycle and can't touch you. Just sit tight. I can also hold Dahuang. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to ride the bike. If you really don't want to, you have to walk over." Leon continued to persuade Sophia, and handed Dahuang to Sophia.

Upon hearing this, Sophia looked at Dahuang, then at Ang and the bicycle, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to the proposal.

But before getting in the car, Sophia found that she was still holding the medicine in her hand, and she hesitated again. Because of such close contact, if Leon saw the medicine she bought, some things might be exposed.

Leon also realized the reason for Sophia's concerns, stepped forward, snatched the bag of medicine, and put it into the system backpack.

"I'll keep the things for you, and I'll return them to you when you want them back."

Blurring his awareness of the medicine Sophia was carrying, Leon pretended not to know what was in the bag and spoke to Sophia calmly.

"Yeah." Seeing that Leon didn't say the word "medicine" but used "something" to refer to it, Sophia really thought that Leon didn't notice what was in the bag he was carrying. While breathing a sigh of relief, she also began to try to sit on the horizontal bar of the bicycle under Leon's command.

Perhaps because of her petite body, Sophia did not sit as close to Abigail on the seat as she did. There was still a little distance between them. However, when Sophia hugged Dahuang, she found that she could not seem to sit steadily on the horizontal bar.

But at this moment, Leon had already started riding. The bicycle was very stable when moving forward, but Sophia was a little scared. She subconsciously pulled out one hand and grabbed Leon's waist, and then she felt some sense of security.

Dahuang, who was held in Sophia's arms with one hand, looked at Sophia's blushing face in confusion, not understanding why this female was so shy.

It's okay to be shy, but why does the way he holds me become so stiff and forceful? It's not comfortable at all.
