A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 166 It seems we are a good match

After clearing out all his stocks, including three qualities of wind vine, Leon returned to the cabin, took a shower and changed into clean clothes. He then put on the copper and iron ingots that Maru needed and rode away from the farm.

Because he had to go out on time, as soon as Leon arrived in Pelican Town and came to Harvey's clinic, he saw Maru wearing her usual clothes and standing at the door of the clinic.

"Sorry for the wait." Leon parked his bike in front of Maru and said hello: "I thought it might take you a while to get off work."

"Because he knew I would have dinner with you today, Harvey let me leave work early." Maru explained to Leon with a smile.

Hearing this, Leon couldn’t help but teased: “I thought Dr. Harvey would deliberately drag you along.”

"Why?" Maru asked doubtfully.

"Nothing." Leon waved his hand without explaining.

Instead, Maru looked at Leon in confusion for a moment, then suddenly understood something and said with a smile: "Oh, I see. You don't think Harvey has a crush on me, do you? Hahaha, then you're wrong. Harvey already has a girlfriend."

"He already has a girlfriend?" Leon was stunned when he heard this. It wasn't because he looked down on Harvey, but simply because he was familiar with Harvey's personality and habits that he had such questions. After all, apart from working in the hospital, Harvey's greatest interest was studying and playing with radios in his room.

Like Clint, he is a homebody, but he is better than Clint and occasionally goes out for a walk in the small park.

"Well, it's a female pilot whom Harvey met while playing on the radio. I heard that although the two have never met and basically rely on radio to communicate, Harvey has a very good relationship with her. Basically, after the clinic closes every day, he spends a lot of time chatting with his girlfriend on the radio." Maru nodded and shared.

"Harvey is very brave to call each other boyfriend and girlfriend without even meeting each other."

Upon hearing this, Leon couldn't help but sigh. He did understand online dating, but everything was unknown before meeting in person. You could be in love with each other online, but become strangers when you meet in person.

The famous scene of "Then I'll leave?" is not something that everyone can accept.

"Maybe it's because they have common topics." Maru analyzed: "Anyway, Harvey really likes chatting with that female pilot."

"Forget it, I won't gossip about your boss anymore. Let's go to the Stardrop. The best chef in town is there. Of course, if you have any place you want to go, you can also tell me. There are many places in Pelican Town that I haven't explored yet."

Leon waved his hand and then asked Maru about the dinner arrangements.

"Then let's go for the Star Fruit. I've already called my dad. As long as I'm back before nine o'clock, I can use the time before that freely." Maru agreed to Leon's arrangement, and the two of them went to the Star Fruit Bar together.

On the road, Leon was pushing a bicycle and Maru was walking beside him. Both of them were quite tall, which attracted the attention of many passers-by. Most people looked at the young couple with kind smiles on their faces. From time to time, residents who knew Maru, the only nurse in the town, would greet her.

"Malu, is this handsome guy next to you your boyfriend?"

In response to such inquiries, Maru would quickly explain: "No, it's my friend, a good friend."

Lyon was not surprised by this. After all, gossip is human nature. Moreover, who wouldn't be confused by the sight of the two of them walking together like a couple?
"Sorry to trouble you." When they reached the door of the Stardrop Salon, Maru apologized to Leon and said, "Most of them have received medical services and physical examinations at the hospital, so they all know me." "It's not a big deal, and you've explained it clearly, haven't you?" Leon replied with a smile, and then helped Maru push open the door of the Stardrop Salon: "Ladies first, please."

Maru smiled and nodded, then entered the store. Perhaps it was too early, there were not many customers in the Stardrop Salon, only a few people.

Maru and Leon's words immediately attracted the attention of Guts and Emily at the counter. Guts looked at Maru beside Leon in surprise, and then couldn't help but secretly glanced at Emily, and found that Emily had a smile on her face after seeing the appearance of Leon and Maru.

"Welcome to the Stardrop. Would you like anything to drink?" Before Guts could speak, Emily asked Leon and Maru who were walking towards the counter.

"Whatever you want to drink, feel free to order. It's my treat today," Leon said to Maru. At the same time, he asked Gus, "Gus, do you have any recommendations for a meal for two? I'm entertaining my new friend and partner today, and I don't want to neglect her."

"Of course, what do you think of these combinations?" Gus immediately took out a note, wrote down the menu he had chosen for Lyon, and handed it to Lyon.

Leon took a quick look. It was a four-course meal for two people, with an appetizer, main course, dessert, and a main course. Basically, there was nothing wrong with it. However, after recalling Maru's preferences, Leon said to Gus, "Maru's main course should be cheese cauliflower, and dessert should be rhubarb pie."

"No problem." Gus immediately made some changes to the menu. After confirming to Leon that this was the official menu, he went into the kitchen and started working.

Maru listened to Leon changing the menu for her, and all the changes were her favorite foods. She immediately asked in surprise: "Leon, how do you know my favorite food?"

"Ah, do you like it? I don't know, I just think these two dishes are very healthy and taste sweet, you might like them." Leon pretended to be confused and explained to Maru.

"Hahaha, that's such a coincidence, but I'm very happy. It seems like we are very compatible." Maru said to Leon with a smile.

"Okay, so have you decided what to drink?" Leon asked Maru.

"No, I usually only drink coffee. It helps me to perk myself up and continue working, but coffee doesn't seem to be suitable as a drink while eating." Maru explained with embarrassment.

"How about fruit juice?" Leon suggested.

"Hmm? Fruit? I like it quite a bit, that's fine." Maru nodded immediately after hearing that.

"Then two glasses of peach juice, Emily, please." Leon made the decision immediately and said to Emily who was looking at the two of them.

"Okay, wait a moment." Emily still had a smile on her face. After hearing Leon's choice, she went to help make peach juice.

But before leaving, Leon noticed that the smile on Emily's face was very stiff, a completely fake business smile, which made him a little worried.

Of course, the worry was not about Emily's emotions, but about whether the peach juice she would drink later would still retain the original taste of the peach.
