Chapter 5624

What? Zhao De was surprised in his heart. What is Zhao Xue doing in Xijing at this time? Is it a business trip? But Zhao De's intuition told him it shouldn't be like this. Just as Zhao De was about to ask, Zhao Xue suddenly continued: "Today is my birthday. I want to find someone to spend it with me, so I thought of you. Do you have time?"

Today is her birthday? Zhao De's heart skipped a beat again. Although Zhao De couldn't remember which day Zhao Xue's birthday was, in his memory, Zhao Xue's birthday was indeed very profound because that year in Yuyang City, he remembered Zhao Xue telling him that her birthday was 'about in winter'.

Zhao De, who had sobered up from this birthday surprise, began to be in a dilemma. The meaning of Zhao Xue's call was very clear, which was to let Zhao De spend this birthday with her. And Zhao De was a bit troubled. First, because it was too late, and most importantly, he had to go back to the district tomorrow morning to handle the exposure of the textile factory's pollution. This matter was the most thorny thing for him at present, and whether this matter could be handled smoothly was related to his prestige and status in Chanba District in the future. Second, Zhao Xue was already the wife of another man. It was unjustifiable for him to accompany her in the middle of the night. If it were another woman, he would be eager to go over immediately. But Zhao Xue was the girl he loved most in his heart, and he didn't want to affect her future family life. But thinking again that a girl had run from Yuyang City to Xijing from far away, and she just wanted to spend a night with him, this request was not too high. If he didn't go, would it be too heartless? Zhao De was struggling in his heart.

Hearing Zhao De on the other end of the phone stop talking, Zhao Xue smiled faintly and said, "If you don't have time, forget it. I'll go back to Yuyang early tomorrow morning."

"What, where are you now? I'll come to pick you up." Zhao De hurriedly said. After all, they hadn't seen each other for so long, and his first love could run over from far away to find him, which showed that she still had him in her heart. Zhao De thought it would be better to see her.

"I am here at the train station." Hearing Zhao De's words, Zhao Xue's tone suddenly seemed a bit excited.

"That's good, you wait for me there, I'll go pick you up immediately." Zhao De said, hung up the phone, hurriedly climbed out of bed, picked up his clothes, put them on in three or two strokes, then walked out of the room quickly, took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot, drove the car, and rushed to the train station.

The anxious state of mind of meeting an old lover was so urgent. Fortunately, there were not many cars on the road in the middle of the night. He drove the car very fast, galloping all the way. Ten minutes later, he killed to the square in front of the train station, parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car, took out his phone, looked around, and called Zhao Xue, "Hello, Zhao Xue, where are you? I have arrived at the train station."

"I am standing here at the first bus stop in front of the square. Where are you?" Zhao Xue said happily.

"I am... I am next to the Tianlang International Hotel in front of the square." Zhao De looked up at the landmark buildings around him and said to the phone, then looked at the bus stop not far across the road, and saw a tall figure standing under the dim sign, holding a phone, talking, and looking around.

Although they hadn't met for more than a year, Zhao De recognized it was Zhao Xue at a glance, hurriedly waved at her, and shouted loudly: "Here, look at your diagonal opposite."

Under Zhao De's reminder, Zhao Xue looked over here, a gratified smile appeared on her face, then she put down the phone and walked quickly toward here.

Looking at the first love walking toward him, she was wearing a khaki woolen trench coat, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and a pair of black high-heeled leather boots on her feet. Her figure looked tall and straight, very eye-catching in the cold night. As she gradually approached him, Zhao De's heartbeat began to accelerate involuntarily. He hadn't had this feeling of being a bit nervous and uneasy because of waiting for someone for a long time.

"Zhao Xue." As Zhao Xue walked in front of him, Zhao De smiled and called her name.

"Are you alone?" Zhao Xue glanced at the car on the side of the road and asked with a smile on her face, which was frozen red.

"Is there anyone else?" Zhao De still smiled playfully, looked at her nose and face frozen red, and hurriedly said: "Get in the car quickly, it's too cold."

After the two got into the car, Zhao De couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. Seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something, he couldn't help but ask: "Why did you suddenly come to Xijing? What about him?"

"He... he... he has been busy recently and went on a business trip." Zhao Xue came back to her senses and answered hesitantly.

"Did something happen between you?" Zhao De looked at Zhao Xue's lost look and couldn't help but ask curiously. He guessed that the two must have had a conflict; otherwise, Zhao Xue wouldn't have run to Xijing alone to find him from far away.

"Ah... no... nothing happened. It's just that I suddenly wanted to come to Xijing and wanted to see you." Zhao Xue said with a forced smile.

Zhao De could see that Zhao Xue had something on her mind. At this time, it was not good to continue asking, so he changed the subject and smiled: "Is it your birthday today?"

"Yeah." Zhao Xue looked at him affectionately and nodded.

"That, you have been on the train for so long, you must be hungry, right? Let's go, I'll take you to eat something to warm up your body first." Zhao De also felt that it was inappropriate to take her directly to the room he opened, so he said.

He drove the car around the city a few times. Because it was too late, all the restaurants were basically closed. Only those chain fast-food restaurants were still open. He really couldn't find a place to eat, so he had to take her to McDonald's and let Zhao Xue sit down and wait for him.

Zhao De came to the bar to order some food and two hot drinks. He suddenly remembered that Zhao Xue was having a birthday today, so he asked the waiter at the bar: "Do you have a cake here?"

"Sorry sir, we don't have a cake here." The waiter shook his head and replied, trying to hold back a smile.

Zhao De said "oh" awkwardly, brought the tray over, sat opposite Zhao Xue, smiled, and said: "I wanted to buy you a cake, but the cake shop is closed so late, so I can only eat something here."

Zhao Xue looked at Zhao De's regretful expression and smiled: "I am already very happy that you can spend it with me. It doesn't matter if there is a cake or not."

The two sat in McDonald's for more than half an hour. After getting into the car, seeing that Zhao De refused to start the car for a long time, Zhao Xue seemed to see his concerns and asked him: "Where are we going?"

"It's so late, why don't I find a place for you to stay first?" Zhao De turned his head to ask for her opinion.

"Then where are you staying?" Zhao Xue avoided Zhao De's words and looked at him affectionately and asked.

"I... I happen to be staying in a hotel in the city tonight." Zhao De touched his nose, secretly glanced at her, and replied.

Zhao Xue asked him: "Is it alone?"

"It must be alone, is there anyone else?" Zhao De laughed.

"Haven't you talked to a partner yet?" Zhao Xue asked a sensitive question.

"No." Zhao De shook his head and replied as if nothing had happened.

"Then if you don't mind, go to your place first... is it okay?" Zhao Xue looked straight at Zhao De with her big eyes, and she seemed a bit embarrassed when she spoke.

"Okay." Zhao De said somewhat reluctantly.

So he started the car. On the road, the two didn't talk much. Zhao De occasionally glanced at the first love who was already someone else's wife sitting next to him. Looking at her temperament and demeanor that already radiated a hint of young woman's charm, he felt very regretful in his heart. It was all his fault for taking his career too seriously and always dragging things out for the two of them, which made her choose to marry someone else after waiting for him for two years.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the hotel. After opening the door and entering, Zhao De greeted Zhao Xue to sit down and poured her a glass of hot water. Just as he was about to sit down, Zhao Xue suddenly said to him: "Zhao De, can you help me go downstairs to the pharmacy to buy some medicine?"

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhao De looked at her, confused, and asked.

"I have a bit of a cold, can you help me buy some cold medicine?" Zhao Xue looked at him pitifully and said.

Zhao De said without hesitation: "Okay." Then he left the room again, hurried downstairs to find a 24-hour pharmacy nearby, bought several kinds of cold medicine, and hurried back to the hotel.

When he opened the room door and came in again, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and his heartbeat accelerated. Because he actually found that Zhao Xue had climbed into the bed and got into the quilt at some point. Looking at the pile of clothes on the sofa, as well as her head exposed from the quilt and her smooth fragrant shoulders that were looming, Zhao De suddenly had an indescribable impulse. He stood foolishly at the door of the room, looking a bit at a loss for a while.

"I'm a bit uncomfortable, so I lay down first." Zhao Xue explained with a slightly red face.
