Chapter 183
Staring at Linus’s enormous bare feet, Leon eventually realized that Linus wasn’t actually going to kick him. That alone made Leon feel a certain warmth toward the old man—Linus was far more magnanimous than the wizard Rasmodius.
Linus studied Leon for a long moment before finally asking, “You’re serious?”
“Yeah.” Leon nodded firmly. Ever since he learned he had arrived in Stardew Valley, he had vowed to become the valley’s most devoted man, taking inspiration from the legendary ancestor Lu Xiaobu.
After all, wasn’t that the ultimate lifelong pursuit for a man? Leon, at least, considered himself more reliable than his so-called ancestor—he wasn’t the type to flirt and leave. He wanted to give insecure girls a warm, safe home. Girls felt cold in the winter, and if several of them could cuddle together, winter would be nice and toasty.
Linus couldn’t help but lift his foot again, but in the end he lowered it with a sigh.
“Your grandfather was a staunch bachelor. How did his grandson turn out to be such a lover of all women?”
“Bachelor? Then how did I even get here?” Leon froze. He’d always assumed he’d transmigrated into this world, but now it seemed there was more to the story.
“Oh, you didn’t know? Right… you’ve only just woken up.” Linus blinked, then repeated the gist of a conversation he’d once had with Leon’s grandfather.
The truth hit Leon like a lightning bolt. So he wasn’t some transmigrator—he was a proper reincarnator. His original soul had been sealed by his grandfather for over twenty years. No wonder he had no memories of parents before coming to Stardew Valley—he was basically a stray.
