Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Hu Yan’s Hot Gaze

Hu Yan did not even wait for Su Qinglan to finish her sentence. The moment she asked for big leaves, he stood up with a bright, determined expression and rushed straight into the rain.

She blinked after him, a little stunned, because he ran out so fast that even his shadow seemed to chase after him.

The rain outside was still falling, but it was lighter than yesterday, almost like a quiet drizzle, and through the open gap of the tree house she could see Hu Yan’s figure moving quickly between the tall trees, his black hair sticking to his face as he searched for the biggest leaves he could find.

It did not take long before he came running back, completely drenched from head to toe, but carrying a whole bundle of giant leaves that were so big they almost covered his entire upper body.

Su Qinglan’s eyes instantly lit up when she saw him. She actually jumped a little in excitement because she had never expected him to bring so many at once.

The leaves were glossy, dark green, and large enough that even she could hide behind one.

Hu Yan smiled proudly at her reaction, his eyes shining as if he had just returned after completing the most important mission in the world.

Before sitting down, he went to wipe the leaves and himself properly. He used a hide cloth to dry his hair and arms, then wiped every leaf very carefully because he knew she didn’t like working with wet things.

Only after both he and the leaves were clean and dry did he sit down beside her on the ground.

Su Qinglan was already sitting cross-legged, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she spread the giant leaves in front of her like a treasure she needed to inspect.

Hu Yan watched her with quiet curiosity, his golden eyes focused on her every movement.

He liked how serious she looked when she was trying something new. Her small hands carefully touched each leaf, testing how flexible they were, tapping them, bending the edges a little to see how much they could fold.

He didn’t understand what exactly she was planning to do, but he could see how happy she was while doing it, so he silently helped by passing her the leaves whenever she needed them.

She started by choosing the strongest and widest leaves from the pile. She placed two flat on the floor, then another two on top of them in the opposite direction so they made a wider shape.

With her fingers, she folded the edges inward and pressed them tightly, muttering to herself to check if they would stay. The leaves were thick and strong, so they held the shape better than she expected.

"This one will be the skirt part," she told Hu Yan, her voice bright with confidence.

Hu Yan nodded seriously, even though he didn’t fully understand how leaves could become clothing. But since his female said so, he believed her completely.

Next, she started working on the upper coat. She used three wide leaves for this. She overlapped them into a big round circle shape and then folded one side like a collar.

After that, she carefully poked a small hole in the center...just big enough for her head to go through.

Hu Yan helped by holding the leaves steady while she made the hole. When she lifted the piece up, it already looked like a strange but clever coat.

"For my arms to stay dry," she explained proudly.

Hu Yan’s eyes widened a little. He really did not know leaves could be used this way.

The final part was the hat. She used one of the largest conical leaves and folded it into a pointed shape. With her fingers, she pressed the edges down until they curved in a neat circle.

It looked almost like a rain hat she had once seen in a drawing, though much simpler. Hu Yan gently helped tighten the base for her so it would fit her head properly.

By the time she finished, all the pieces came together beautifully. One leaf skirt, one wide upper coat with a hole for her head, and a cone-shaped hat...simple, but clever enough that anyone could tell it would protect her from rain.

Su Qinglan stared at her creation for a moment, almost in disbelief. She had actually done it. For a second she was frozen, and then excitement hit her all at once.
