Chapter 79: 078: The Lasting Scent of Perfume, The Obedient Xie Shang (First Update) Chapter 79: 078: The Lasting Scent of Perfume, The Obedient Xie Shang (First Update) She suddenly raised her hand and touched his forehead, she guessed right, “You have a fever.”

She had noticed it just now, Xie Shang seemed lethargic today, and even with the car’s air conditioner set so low, there was still sweat on his forehead.

Xie Shang used his own hand to check, “I do?”

“Yes.”

His fever was not mild.

The green light turned on, and the driver behind them was impatient, continuously honking to urge them on.

Xie Shang didn’t mind, lightly stepped on the gas pedal, and drove through the intersection very slowly.

Once they reached the other side, Wen Changling said, “Pull over to the side, I’ll drive.”

“Aren’t you afraid?”

Wen Changling was still not proficient at driving.

She saw that Xie Shang’s lips had lost some color, he must be feeling very uncomfortable, “It’s okay to drive slowly.”

Xie Shang pulled over and stopped the car.

The two of them switched places, Wen Changling fastened her seat belt, turned her head to look at Xie Shang, and waited for him to also buckle up before starting the car. Perhaps because of the fever, his movements were slower than usual.

“Let’s not eat out, let’s go home to eat.”

“Hmm,” Xie Shang adjusted his seat to recline.

Wen Changling drove carefully and asked Xie Shang, “Is it a side effect from that perfume?”

“No.”

Xie Shang had tested it during development, that bottle of perfume had no side effects. He wouldn’t keep something that did.

“Just a common cold,” he said.

“Are there any other symptoms besides the fever?”

“No,” Xie Shang reminded, “You need to change lanes.”

“Oh.”

They were about to turn right.

Wen Changling hastily reached for the turn signal, nearly reaching the solid line, and without waiting three seconds, she quickly changed lanes.

Xie Shang thought to himself that in the future, it’s better to have her drive less.

Along the way, Wen Changling stopped the car once.

She unbuckled her seat belt, “Wait for me in the car.”

“Where are you going?”

“To get medicine.”

across the street, Wen Changling got out of the car, waited for

his head on the back of his seat, and didn’t feel much like moving. Outside the car window, it was busy with traffic, commuters in a hurry, and the street had numerous snack stalls, bustling and lively. The high fever made his reaction sluggish, his gaze dull, and as he stared in one direction, the shadows in his pupils slowly
