Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

While taking care of Ventus in the hospital, Ryo Kuriyama's heart could not calm down for a long time.

The injuries of his companions, the unknown in prison, and even the people he could rely on, Bai Jianan and He Wei, had to run to the police station several times because of the attack on the hotel and the bicycle incident.

The more Ventus looked at Ryo Kuriyama's bitter face as he bent down to peel an orange, the angrier he became.

"What's wrong? I'm worried about you."

Ryo Kuriyama broke the orange segments one by one and placed them on the fruit plate. He picked up a small steel fork and inserted it into one of the orange pieces, then handed the plate and the fruit to Ventus.

"Eat more and get more vitamin C."

Nie Kaiyu said this can improve immunity and accelerate wound healing.

Ventus looked at the fruit flesh emitting orange-gold light in front of him and tried to move his aching arm.

"You haven't told me yet, what's wrong? Don't tell me you're sad because I'm hurt."

As a secret agent, he had to go through fire and water whenever he was on a mission. Although explosions were not a common occurrence, they were not unexpected.

For him, being able to save his life is the greatest success.

Kuriyama Ryo glanced at him from the corner of his eye, complaining, "You and Brother Ji An really grew up together."

"Why, I also have the temperament of a wealthy young master?"

"That's not what I'm talking about. It's exactly the same thing that they don't take their bodies seriously."

"That's different." Ventus chewed the sweet and sour orange and said, "Bai Ji'an does not care about anything when he gets crazy, but I am different."

"What's so different about you? You're all blown up like a Dalmatian, yet you're still smiling."

"Hey! Who are you calling a Dalmatian? If it weren't for my disability, I would definitely kick you!"

As if he would really kick him as soon as he finished speaking, Kuriyama Ryo cleverly moved his butt from the bedside to the accompanying chair.

Ventus stared at his smiling face and suddenly said calmly: "You are much more cheerful than the last time I saw you."

Kuriyama Ryo was stunned.

He blinked and suppressed his smile.

"Yes, yes?"

Ventus nodded firmly: "Yes, and the changes are obvious."

Last time?

Ryo Kuriyama half lowered his head, thinking about the last time he met Ventus.

He couldn't remember exactly how many days or months had passed, but he was sure that the last time they met was before he heard that Bai Jian'an was injured and hospitalized and chased after Yue An.

After finishing all the orange segments, Ventus relaxed and leaned back.

The soft and thick pillow wrapped around his somewhat stiff back, and the comfortable feeling made him unable to help but admire it.

"I didn't expect that." Ventus stole a glance at Kuriyama Ryo's still half-drooped profile and said very deliberately: "Nie Kaiyu is quite good at taking care of people."

Kuriyama Ryo raised his head in dissatisfaction and retorted: "Who needs him? I have money."

“It’s not about money.”

"what is that?"

Ventus didn't know how to describe it. He pondered for a moment and said, "Have you ever heard of a saying? It's called "Loving someone is like growing flowers." "

Kuriyama Ryo shook his head.

"The general meaning is that loving someone is like growing flowers, which requires careful care and love. Just like growing flowers requires watering and fertilizing, a lover also requires time and energy to cultivate and care for him. Let the soul be nourished and the flesh and blood grow wildly."

Kuriyama Ryo seemed to understand the meaning of this, and sighed, "So it's not just me, you treat Han the same way as well."

Ventus looked at him strangely: "I was talking about you, why are you suddenly talking about me?"

"Because I think you and Brother Han are more suitable for this sentence."

Seeing that he wanted to express his opinion but was afraid to expose his scars, Ventus said, "Brother Han and I, you and Nie Kaiyu, are similar but also different."

"what do you mean?"

"The reason why you think this sentence is more suitable for us is that you only saw that Brother Han became a disabled person who could not move freely due to an accident. You saw my care for him and his comfort to me. But it is not only the body that is important to a person, but also the soul."

Kuriyama Ryo was stunned for a moment, and then he fell silent.

Perhaps being in a place where he is loved, he gradually gets used to how to get along naturally with Nie Kaiyu. But Ventus, who he hasn't seen for a long time, is different. He can see what he can't see and feel the changes in him.

"Cherish it well. It's really not easy for two people to be together."

Kuriyama Ryo understood, but the more he understood, the less happy he was.

"What's wrong?" Ventus asked, "Are you worried?"

After two seconds of silence, Kuriyama Ryo said, "Mrs. Nie doesn't agree with us being together."

"Mrs. Nie..." Ventus tried hard to recall the dignified and beautiful face of Mrs. Nie in his childhood memories, and asked again: "What did Nie Kaiyu say?"

"He wants to be with me."

"Mrs. Nie's reaction?"

Compared to Catharina's anger when she learned about Mrs. Nie's attitude, Ventus seemed calmer and more rational.

"They were very angry, but Nie Kaiyu said that his parents couldn't do anything to him. He also said that when he decided to give up inheriting Mr. Nie's career and choose to be a surgeon, they disagreed. But after a long time, they couldn't persuade Nie Kaiyu, so they gave up."

"But future career and choosing a marriage partner are two different things."

"I know."

"Then there may be something that you and Nie Kaiyu don't know."

Kuriyama Ryo raised his head: "What's the matter?"

"According to the information I have received in the past two years, Nie Zhen's career focus is moving towards the medical industry."

"Medical care? For Nie Kaiyu's dream?"

Ventus shrugged as a matter of course. "There shouldn't be any other reason other than this."

"...Nie Kaiyu never told me."

"He doesn't know either, how can he tell you?"

If Bai Jianan had not returned to China, he would have been forced to shift some of his attention to Yue An, and the two of them would not have discovered this matter at the same time.

"I guess Nie Zhen should have had some plans after Nie Kaiyu decided to become a doctor. But the specific implementation is not as simple as imagined. It took several years, and there are already more than a dozen private hospitals opened across the country."

"So many."

"Of course, it's not that easy to switch careers and invest in unfamiliar fields. Nie Zhen has put a lot of effort into allowing his son to pursue his dreams while inheriting the Nie family's endless money."

Kuriyama Ryo listened to everything Ventus said in a daze. The scene that day at the Nie family's house when Nie Zhen calmed down the emotional Mrs. Nie and allowed him to go upstairs to meet Nie Kaiyu emerged in his mind.

He did so much silently for the rest of Nie Kaiyu's life.

Even when she learned that her son was with a man and would not have children in the future, she was able to calmly acquiesce to everything just to respect his wishes.

It turns out... there really is fatherly love in this world, and this is what a real father is like.
