A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 671 I Believed It Anyway

"you"

The sudden kiss that ended in an instant made Leon a little overwhelmed. He looked at Sophia blankly, not understanding why Sophia suddenly did this when everything was going well.

"I like you, Leon." Sophia's expression was very serious at the moment, not knowing whether it was the courage she mustered from being drunk or she had suddenly come to her senses.

"I don't know when it started, but every day I think about seeing you, wanting you to be by my side, wanting you to read comics with me, go to comic conventions, and leave our footprints in all kinds of interesting places. I'm sure this is love.

Mom and Dad also support my decision. Every time in my dreams, what I share with them the most is about you. They say that you care about me and are a good man. If I don’t resist you, I will hold you tightly. I think they are right.

You are the only man of the same age that I don’t dislike, and I especially like the feeling of being with you. It’s a comfortable and exciting feeling.

Every time I see you, I can't help but want to get close to you and hug you, but you don't seem to have the same feeling towards me, so I have been enduring and waiting, waiting for you to have the same feeling as me.

But I found that you have never felt this way, which makes me very uncomfortable. You always want me to call you brother, but I don’t want to be siblings with you. I want to be lovers with you, the kind of lovers who can walk hand in hand with you.

"But I have a girlfriend." Sophia's series of words touched Leon a little, but he was also helpless. After all, he was not single now.

Although I have always wanted to be a harem king and enjoy sleeping in the same bed with someone, which is one of the ultimate ambitions of boys.

But when it came to actually doing this, Lyon felt a little timid.

Reality is not a game, and those girls will not be so devoted to you as to go all the way to the end once they have enough affection for you.

The situation where no matter how many girls are around you, as long as there is a place for her, you will be satisfied is just a fantasy of a otaku before his death.

When it comes to feelings, people are selfish. At least Abigail would not be willing to share Leon. Although there was the example of Helena, Leon could also see that Abigail had been secretly competing with Helena. The reason why she did not go crazy was entirely because, at least in the current period, Leon still belonged to her alone.

Maybe Leon would go to see Helena for one or two days every month, but Abigail could also comfort herself with general reasons such as the relationship between mermaids and humans. She could use the excuse that she could occupy 90% of Leon's time, while Helena could not easily leave the ocean and could only take one or two days away from him every month to ease her depression.

But once another competitor joins the existing situation, and is someone who exists right next to Lyon and can be met at any time, Abigail will definitely be the first one to be unhappy. Lyon knows this very well and does not want Abigail to be disappointed or even turn against him.

It is an indisputable fact that he likes Abigail very much, especially after Abigail's various behaviors after he disappeared, which made Leon feel that he could not bear Abigail's departure in this life. So he didn't want Abigail to be disappointed, and he didn't want to let this relationship have a crack because of some unrealistic ideas.

Leon had been avoiding Emily, who had bravely confessed her feelings to him before. Even when they met, he kept to a brief conversation, preventing her from finding a breakthrough. He had originally thought that with this cold shoulder, Emily would give up, and Leon would be able to make peace with her, perhaps even become friends in the future. But now Sofia had intervened, giving Leon even more headaches. Compared to Emily, Sofia was even more difficult to deal with, especially her depression, which he didn't know if it had been alleviated or cured, and was a time bomb of uncertainty.

If this became the last straw that broke Sophia's heart and made her step into an irreversible abyss, Leon would probably feel guilty for the rest of her life, so Leon tried his best to comfort Sophia.

"I like you too, Sophia, but this is not love, it's more like family affection, do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Sophia retorted, shaking her head. "We're not related by blood, and I don't believe in pure friendship between men and women."

"Well, your point is quite correct, but is it possible that we are an exception?" Lyon scratched his forehead with a headache after hearing this. While he was amazed that Sophia could say such a wise saying, he also had a headache about how to respond to such a point of view.

"Do you really treat me as your sister? Don't you have any other thoughts at all?" Sophia puffed out her chest and questioned Leon in dissatisfaction.

"Yes." Leon nodded in confirmation. Although he might be lying, this was the best solution right now.

To be fair, any man would have some thoughts about a girl like Sophia who is lively and cheerful when in a normal mood and is also very beautiful and cute, but he can't say that now.

"I don't believe it." Sophia stared at Leon's face with wide eyes. When she saw Leon say yes, she turned her eyes away unnoticeably and was sure that Leon was lying.

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." Leon answered seriously.

"Then why are you so nice to me?" Seeing that Leon refused to admit it, Sophia continued to ask.

"Well, because I really think you're like a little sister who needs care, so I'm overflowing with love?" Leon concluded, but the confidence in his words was not quite enough.

"It's like finding a homeless kitten on the street, starving and lying next to you?" Sophia gave an example.

"It's not that exaggerated," Leon complained. "I first met you because of Guts's commission, but also because I felt it was rare to meet someone in the same industry in Stardew Valley, and I felt a sense of identity."

"Then I noticed something wasn't right with you, and then I remembered a friend who was in the same predicament as you, so I couldn't help but pay more attention to you. After all, I can't just ignore your situation after knowing about it. You're still young, and the consequences of a mental illness like depression without proper care and guidance are truly terrifying, so I don't want to see you get into an accident."

"So this is why I like you. You are very gentle, Leon. To be honest, this kind of gentleness that comes from the heart is exactly the beauty that girls cannot refuse. It is more touching than those so-called romance and love words." Sophia concluded while looking at Leon with a smile.
