Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Bump, The Prey, and The Hungry Plant

Rong Ye sat on the ground, silently chewing on a potato.

A huge bump decorated the center of his forehead like a shiny mountain peak. His usually handsome face was now twisted with pain and regret. He didn’t even dare to look at Su Qinglan, just stared at the potato in his hands like it had wronged him in another life.

He looked miserable. Utterly, hopelessly miserable.

Su Qinglan stood nearby, nonchalantly peeling a bowl of potatoes. Her expression was calm. She looked like she was preparing a royal feast...except the "royal guest" was a man who had barged into her cave without knocking and had seen... well, more than he should have.

"Here," she said finally, tossing another potato into his bowl. "Eat. Maybe it’ll heal that bump."

Rong Ye flinched slightly, then accepted it with both hands like a starving beggar. He didn’t even try to defend himself.

Silence.

Only the sound of him chewing.

He didn’t dare speak. Didn’t dare glance at her. Didn’t even dare breathe too loud.

Only he knew what exactly had happened.

One moment he’d been angrily storming into the cave, ready to scold her for making him starve. The next moment...BANG! Something had met his forehead before he could even blink. Then came Su Qinglan’s scream, and the next thing he knew, he was outside the cave seeing stars.

It was truly a tragedy.

But honestly, what was there to complain about? It was him who had walked in. He was her mate after all. And if fate was kind enough to let him catch even a glimpse of something before his life flashed before his eyes, that was already a blessing.

Sadly, fate wasn’t kind.

He hadn’t seen anything clearly. Just a blur. He didn’t even know anymore.

His luck was truly rotten.

If only he had seen more... maybe this bump wouldn’t hurt so bad.

Pitiful, so pitiful of him.

Su Qinglan, meanwhile, was pretending not to notice his suffering. She hummed softly as she cleaned the table, arranging bowls and leftover food like nothing had happened. Her movements were smooth and unbothered...as if she hadn’t just attacked him and almost ended his life.

After a long, awkward silence, Rong Ye finally spoke, his voice small and pitiful.

"I... brought a prey for you."

His tone was so timid it could melt a stone.

Su Qinglan didn’t even look up. "Outside?"

He nodded quickly, eyes still down. "Yes... just outside the cave."

"Mm."

That was all she said before turning and walking out.

Rong Ye sighed in relief. At least she wasn’t angry anymore... right?

Outside, Su Qinglan stretched her back and looked around. The cool breeze brushed her hair, and for a moment, she felt refreshed.

Until she saw the main scene.

Her eyes widened. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

There, right in front of the cave, her prey...the one Rong Ye had proudly brought was being eaten by none other than her plant.

The lazy, half-dead plant that had spent the entire morning sleeping like a pig was now wide awake and chewing on the prey with loud, happy munch sounds. Its green vines had wrapped around the carcass, and its leaf-mouth opened wide to take another juicy bite.

Su Qinglan froze. Then slowly blinked.
