A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 701 She's Just Your Sister

"You came just in time. The food you ordered is all prepared for you. I put it all in this picnic basket, which also includes a matching tablecloth and disposable cutlery. If you want to have a drink with the girls, I'll add some paper cups for you."

Back at the Stardrop, Guts immediately called Leon over and pushed a picnic basket on the counter in front of Leon.

"Thanks, Gus. I'm sorry for taking the trouble. I'll bring it to you when I'm done."

Lyon felt relieved that Guts had prepared so well.

"It's okay if you don't send it back. Have fun." Gus smiled and wished Leon well.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Since he had already paid, Leon left the bar with the basket.

I went out and rode my bike, holding the picnic basket in my left hand and holding the handlebars with my right hand. The bike slid steadily towards the coal forest.

Soon, Leon returned to the girls.

When the girls saw Leon coming back, they stopped what they were doing and came over to help.

The tablecloth was on top of the picnic basket. Emily took it out immediately and chose a flat piece of grass to spread it on. The other girls also placed the food and tableware in the picnic basket on the tablecloth in order.

"Why are you all standing? Sit down, and don't tell me you're waiting for me."

Looking at the girls standing beside the tablecloth, Leon complained speechlessly.

"Indeed, Haas is waiting for you. After all, it's your treat." Leah teased.

"Okay, everyone sit down." Leon had no choice but to take off his shoes and take up a corner of the tablecloth.

Leon sat down, and Abigail immediately took off her shoes and leaned on Leon's right side. Sophia followed closely behind and occupied Leon's left side, while Emily and Helilia sat sparsely, each occupying a different direction, and their eyes would unconsciously glance at the surrounded Leon.

"Aren't you guys hot? Don't squeeze together on such a big tablecloth."

Lyon sniffed the two different styles of fragrance coming from around him, and felt the equally wonderful touch from his left and right arms, feeling a little scared.

What he was afraid of was not other people's eyes, but Sophia's boldness, because this girl basically relied half on herself.

Although she is her sister, she is also her adopted sister. Abigail didn't mind if she stayed by her side while fishing for crayfish before, but now this posture seems too intimate.

But to Leon's surprise, Abigail seemed not to see anything, and began to open the thermal boxes of food as usual, and even invited other girls to eat.

"What's going on?" Leon didn't understand why Abigail didn't react to this scene, but he didn't dare to ask. After all, Abigail might just be waiting for the opportunity. He could only bite the bullet and pretend that he didn't notice. He picked up a plate of stir-fried mushrooms with bread and started eating.

Lunch was mostly vegetarian, but Gus's cooking skills were trustworthy. The delicious dishes combined with freshly baked sliced ​​bread were quite appetizing, and everyone ate up all the dishes.

After finishing the meal, Emily took the initiative to clean up the mess. She carefully packed up the used mess and food containers and put them in the picnic basket, and also folded and put away the tablecloth.

After dinner, everyone did not rest but returned to their seats and continued fishing for crayfish. Lyon was always accompanied by Sophia on the left and Abigail on the right, who protected him like two personal bodyguards.

When Sophia went to Leah to ask for the key and entered Leah's cabin to use the toilet, Leon finally couldn't help it. "Sophia was half leaning on me just now, why didn't you say anything?"

This question really made Leon curious. If he didn't know the answer, he would be a little panicked.

"She's not feeling well. What's wrong with you, as her brother, leaning on her for a while?" Abigail looked at Leon puzzledly and asked back.

"Just that?" Leon looked at Abigail in disbelief.

"Do you have any other thoughts?" Abigail asked, staring at Leon with narrowed eyes.

"Not really, I just feel that you seem to trust her quite a bit." Leon shook his head and complained.

"I'm not as stingy as you think. Sophia and I talked a lot. I think it's nice to have a sister like this. She also supports me, which makes me feel more at ease than Emily." Abigail explained.

After hearing what Abigail said, Leon didn't know whether to complain about Abigail's generosity or naivety. Even Leon came to his senses and felt that Sophia must have some ulterior motive in recognizing him as her brother, but Abigail trusted her so much.

But it's not strange when you think about it. After all, Abigail didn't know that Sophia and Leon had confessed their love. In addition, Sophia had not been close to Leon before, and Lust and Temperance had not been triggered. When it was triggered, Abigail was not around, and was directly erased by Leon with Desire Suppression, so Abigail didn't know Sophia's thoughts.

But Leon didn't dare to tell anyone about this. If he did, he would be in big trouble. Since Abigail didn't find out, he could only protect himself.

After a brief exchange, Sophia also came back, and the atmosphere returned to calm until the sun began to set and dusk arrived. Leon stood up and put the fourth bucket of crayfish, which was already half full, into the system backpack.

"Okay, it's time to rest. You and Abigail go to the farm and rest for a while. Drink some water. I'll go get some food. When I come back, we'll start cooking."

After a day of crayfish fishing, it’s time to wrap up. Evening is the time to enjoy the fruits of the day’s labor.

Although the girls were still reluctant to leave, they did not object. They picked up the shrimp fishing rods in the water and removed the pig livers that had been replaced several times. As for the shrimp fishing rods, they were all left with Leah for future use.

Abigail also began to invite the girls to the farm as the hostess. The girls accepted reluctantly, but Sophia grabbed Leon's shoulder, as if she had something to say.

"Brother, I'll give you the key to the vineyard. You know the location of the wine cellar. Go over there and bring back two bottles of high-quality wine to treat everyone."

"I still have some fruit wine." Leon really appreciated Sophia's call of "brother", but he didn't mean to take advantage of Sophia. After all, Sophia's wine was not cheap.

"Then I'll trade with you. I quite like coconut wine. Two bottles for two bottles." Sophia suggested.

"If you want it, I'll give it to you. No need to exchange it." Leon explained.

"Hey, why are you so slow? Just take it when I tell you to. Don't be embarrassed. After all, when you entertain guests, you have to bring out some good things. You are my brother, why do you have to be polite to me?" Sophia rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction and complained.

"What you said, is the fruit wine I brewed not worthy of being served?" Leon laughed and couldn't help teasing Sophia.

"That's not what I meant. I just want to drink wine, and my sister-in-law wants it too. Just think of it as satisfying both of our preferences." Sophia hurriedly shook her head and explained.

"Okay, I'll go there. If you're not feeling well, don't drink. Don't move when you get to my place. Rest on the sofa or in a room upstairs. I'll call you for dinner tonight." Leon took the key from Sophia's hand and reminded her.

"Yeah." Seeing that Leon agreed, Sophia smiled and caught up with the team that had already started walking towards the farm.
