Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 706

Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Our Family’s Little Moon

Lan Yue froze solid under his attentive care. Her face slowly began to turn bright red all over again. Only this time... it had absolutely nothing to do with Su Qinglan’s teasing.

"I... I’m fine..." she stammered, quickly waving her hands in front of her chest to create some space. "You don’t have to help anymore. Really."

The hawk beastman finally let out a quiet, relieved breath after observing her closely and making sure she wasn’t actually hurt. "I’m glad. I thought you were injured from the impact."

Lan Yue secretly looked up at him through her lashes. He was so tall that she literally had to tilt her head all the way back just to meet his gaze.

For some strange reason, standing right beside his massive frame made her feel even smaller and more delicate than usual.

The hawk-beastman also quietly looked down at her. She had remarkably bright eyes, rosy cheeks from the biting cold, and a few stubborn snowflakes still clinging to her soft hair.

She looked... unexpectedly, incredibly adorable.

Suddenly realizing he had been staring at her for far too long, his expression tightened, and he immediately looked away to clear his throat. "...Sorry."

Lan Yue quickly shook her head, her heart thumping against her ribs. "N-No, it’s fine..."

The two of them suddenly fell into a tense, heavy silence. The cold winter wind blew gently between them, carrying the scent of pine, but neither of them knew exactly what to say next.

At that exact moment...

"Sister!"

"Wait for us! You run too fast!"

The loud, shouting voices of the three triplet brothers echoed from down the path behind them. Lan Yue suddenly snapped back to her senses, her inner thoughts jolting.

"Oh no..." She had completely forgotten that her brothers were still chasing her with their arms full of treasures.

She hurriedly stepped back, creating distance between herself and the tall hawk-beastman. "I-I’m really okay! Thank you for the help!"

Without waiting for him to reply, she quickly turned around on her heel and ran back toward the direction of her brothers’ voices.

The hawk-beastman stood entirely still in the snow, quietly watching her disappearing figure fade into the distance.

Only after she was completely out of sight did he slowly lower his gaze to his own hand.

Something remarkably soft and warm still lingered in his palm... the lingering sensation of holding her small hand when he had pulled her out of the snowdrift.

For some reason, a faint, uncharacteristic smile appeared on his lips as he turned back toward his path.

Everyone was still gathered closely around Xuan Long, completely captivated.

All of their attention remained fixed on the tiny white snake, who was simply too small and delicate.

Every now and then, she carefully peeked out from around Xuan Long’s large finger, but the moment too many eyes looked at her at once, she quickly hid herself away again.

No one noticed... that Xiao Yi, Xiao Er, and Mo Xiao Li had quietly disappeared from the hall. The three little troublemakers had already successfully sneaked away into the kitchen on their own secret food rescue mission.

Inside the main hall, everyone was busy discussing the new arrival.

"So... what should we name the little one?" Hu Yan asked with a warm smile, leaning over the table.

Han Jue nodded in agreement. "A beautiful little princess deserves an equally beautiful name."

Everyone began thinking seriously, throwing out ideas in their minds. Just then... Xiao San suddenly raised his little hand high in the air.

"I know!"

Everyone turned to look at him. The little fellow smiled brightly, his round face glowing with pride. "Yue Yue!"

The room became quiet for a moment.

"Yue Yue?" Su Qinglan repeated softly, tasting the name on her tongue.

Xiao San nodded his head excitedly. "Little Sister is just as pretty as Little Aunt Lan Yue! So I want to call her Yue Yue."
