A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 921 A family?!
But what can Lyon do?

It's the lesser of two evils. Instead of everyone suffering together, I'd rather sacrifice myself and consider it a contribution to Pelican Town.

Thinking of this, Lyon resigned himself to his fate and walked towards the beach.

"Are you here to pick me up?"

As soon as we arrived at the beach, a huge sailboat, dozens of meters tall, decorated with shells and corals and with a figurehead made of pure crystal of a mermaid, emerged from the seabed and hovered on the sea.

Helena, standing on the bow, was wearing a simple blue dress that was completely different from her usual style. She looked down at Leon and asked.

"Don't make such a big scene, don't scare the ordinary people in Pelican Town." Leon complained unhappily with his neck raised.

But after a while, it was discovered that such a large ship appeared on the coast, but no one noticed it.

"Of course I'm ready. Now your concern is how to get me off the boat."

After Helena finished speaking, she opened her arms and jumped down towards Leon's face.

Leon hurriedly opened his arms as if to lift her up, intending to catch Helena, but maybe Helena did it on purpose, but when she was free falling only two meters from the ground, she disappeared. When she reappeared, she was already in front of Leon, and then looked at Leon with a playful look on her face as he stretched out his hands and raised his head in a dull manner.

"Do you think I'll jump into your arms?"

"Well, I just didn't expect that you seemed to have started to dislike me." Leon quickly retracted his previous posture and sighed to Helena with a lonely look on his face.

"Why do I feel like you dislike me? After all, someone said that he would come to me when things were over, but I have been waiting at the bottom of the sea until now, and I haven't seen him show up." Helena stepped forward and supported Leon's chin with her hand, so that he could only look directly at her face and asked back.

"You know what someone thinks?"

"Maybe someone is dealing with other issues and has no time to spare? After all, someone now has an additional island to develop, and a very difficult task that requires full preparation to complete." Leon grabbed Helena's hand and pulled her into his arms and answered softly.

"Then I'll just assume that someone is telling the truth." Helena didn't struggle. She snuggled in Leon's arms, smelling the intoxicating scent, and her mood improved a lot.

Lyon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. It seemed that he had temporarily survived the first crisis.

But obviously things are not that simple. Although ordinary people on the beach cannot see Helena's boat, not all of them can, such as Linus and the secretly peeping Rasmodesmus, and of course Abigail and Camilla.

It was impossible to ignore the appearance of this big ship, and naturally, the eyes cast over and easily discovered Leon and Helena under the bow.

Camilla was surprised by Helena's appearance, but she didn't find it strange about the relationship between Helena and Leon. After all, Camilla knew about Helena's efforts both before and after the last rescue operation.

In fact, Camilla still felt grateful and thankful towards Helena, but she had never had the chance to thank her in person, so she could only keep this kindness in her heart.

But now that the opportunity has come, she doesn't want to contact Helena anymore, because at this moment, seeing Helena and Leon being so close to each other, she feels inexplicably annoyed.

This strange feeling made her dare not look at the two people. She could only pretend that nothing had happened and turn her gaze elsewhere.

Unlike Camilla who deliberately avoided it, after noticing this scene, Abigail immediately left her parents who were trying to regroup and increase the price of all the jungle-themed decorations that had been sold out, and hurried towards Leon.

"Your little girlfriend is here, are you going to let me go?"

Compared to Leon, who had his back to the beach, Helena was the first to notice Abigail rushing over with such momentum. With a smile on her face, she reminded Leon, "There's no need. We're not having a secret relationship. What's there to be afraid of if we're open and aboveboard?"

Although Leon spoke with full righteousness, he consciously took a small step back, slightly increasing the distance between him and Helena, and changed from a frontal hug to a side-on arm-in-arm.

Helena rolled her eyes at Leon's little action, but did not attack him. Instead, she waved her free right hand and greeted Abigail: "Hello, Abigail."

"Long time no see, Helena."

As they approached the two, Abigail slowed down her pace, forced a smile in response to Helena's greeting, and then looked at Helena with pretended concern and asked, "As a queen, leaving the seabed rashly, will you be in trouble, Helena?"

"Of course not. After all, even the queen needs a vacation, not to mention that the invitation to travel this time comes from my partner. My people are so happy." Helena explained to Abigail with a smile.

If Leon hadn't noticed the hostility and wariness in each other's eyes, he would have thought that the two of them had a really good relationship.

But it was precisely the undercurrent he sensed beneath this peaceful exchange that made Leon feel uneasy, because the eyes of both sides would shift to him from time to time.

Out of the instinct for survival, Lyon began to seek off-field assistance, and the first target was naturally Linus who was not far away.

But the old man didn't pay any attention to this at the moment. He had built a fire pit on the beach at some point. He was holding a grill with a thick pork leg skewered on it and turning it around. From time to time, he would sprinkle some seasonings on it and brush it with a layer of prepared sauce and oil.

If Leon hadn't seen Linus a few minutes ago, he would have thought that the old man had been barbecuing here for a while.

As if he noticed Leon's gaze, Linus also turned his attention to Leon, watching the situation here from a distance. He didn't say anything, but gave Leon a thumbs up, as if to cheer Leon on.

Then he continued to stare intently at the pork leg in his hand, paying no attention to Leon's pleading eyes and the hint of his hooking hand.

However, although Linus ignored Leon's request for help, Sophia, who was chatting with Gus on the other side, accidentally discovered the situation on Leon's side. When she saw Helena's beautiful face that could not be ignored and Abigail's tense back, she was suddenly shocked.

Immediately afterwards, Sophia felt that Abigail might need support, so she said goodbye to Gus and rushed towards the battlefield.

"Hey, your little sister is here. It seems like you two really get along well."

Noticing Sofia's presence, Helena joked.

"We are family after all. Isn't it normal for us to have a good relationship?" Abigail ignored the hint in Helena's words and responded with a normal expression.

"Oh, so we can be considered a family then." Helena's smile became even brighter when she heard that.

"of course."

Unexpectedly, Abigail nodded decisively in agreement.

This was something Helena had not expected, and the next second, her smile disappeared.

"After all, you watched Leon grow up, so you are considered our elder."

Abigail knew about Helena's situation. Leon shared everything he knew with Abigail. On the one hand, it was to let Abigail understand her relationship with Helena, and on the other hand, it was to give a reasonable explanation for Helena's behavior.
