I’ve come back after being reborn

Chapter 7

Fang Yuan’s initial thoughts were actually very simple and impulsive.

   Even when he mentioned that he had a violin, it was only so that Jiang Heng could have a look at it.

  Because Jiang Heng may have seen Cedric burnt to ashes, he wanted to have him to see Cedric’s intact, clean and beautiful appearance.

   That’s it.

   But Jiang Heng, he, this person, it seemed that from the day he appeared, everything was a variable, out of control, and completely unpredictable.

  方缘几乎是思绪混乱着,就在江衡的声音和视线中拿出了琴,上紧了弦,为弓弦擦油,演示了小提琴的拿法,将弓搭在了弦上,拉出第一个声响。

  他仅仅是在调音而已,江衡的眼睛就变得明亮璀璨,像是看见了什么了不得的东西。

  真是犯规,方缘想着,这个人的眼睛本来就够明亮了,还要用这样的眼神看人。

  

  可这样的眼神,让人心烦意乱的同时,还能很好地驱赶他脑海里的杂念。

  

  方缘调好了音,“你想听什么?”

   It’s really a foul, Fang Yuan thought. This person’s eyes were already bright enough, but he looked at people with such a gaze.

  

   It was such a look in his eyes that made people upset but at the same time, drive away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

  

   Fang Yuan adjusted the tune, “What do you want to hear?”

  

  末世中,他和戴着面具的江衡重逢,却是在最糟糕的境况下。

  他疯了一样地吼叫,质问,你懂什么?!

  

  “我想听……啊,我也不知道,我记不住那些曲子的名字。”

  “那我就随意拉一个吧。”

  方缘拿出手机,播放了大提琴的配乐,将琴弓再次搭好,拉出低沉悠扬的琴音,与手机里的声音合奏。

  

  那次重逢太狼狈、太难看了。

In the apocalypse, he met with Jiang Heng, who was wearing a mask, at his lowest point.

   He had screamed, what do you know? !

  

   “I want to hear… Ah, I don’t know, I can’t remember the names of any songs.”

   “Then I’ll play one at will.”

  

   Fang Yuan took out his phone and played a cello soundtrack. He set up his violin again, and drew out a deep and melodious note, which was in harmony with the tune from his mobile phone.

  

   That meeting was too embarrassing.

  他让江衡滚,江衡比他更愤怒、更疯狂,抓着他的肩膀问,‘你想死吗?!’

  他的回答是冷笑、颤抖,和歇斯底里的发泄,大喊着连自己都知道不正常的话语。

  ‘死?难道我现在这样,就是活着的样子吗?!我宁可死,宁可变成尸体、变成丧尸,哪怕最后被你砍下头颅,也好过像现在这样活着!你懂什么……你不明白!’

  

  琴声急转,小提琴声音一声声变得高昂,大提琴的配乐持续着短促、快速的重复,仿佛一声声逼问,然后两道琴声柔和在了一处。

  方缘微微蹙着眉心,不自觉地将一切无法说清的情绪,注入了琴声之中。

  耳边是小提琴与大提琴的合奏,脑海里是当初最后一次见面时的争吵。

He had told Jiang Heng to scram but Jiang Heng was even more angry and crazier than him. He grabbed his shoulder and asked, ‘Do you want to die?!’

   He only sneered while trembling and hysterical, shouting words that even he knew were abnormal.

 ’Die? Am I alive like this?! I would rather die than become a corpse or become a zombie, even if your head is cut off in the end, it is better than living like this! What do you know… You don’t understand! ’

  

   The tune of the violin turned sharply, and the music grew louder. The soundtrack of the cello continued to repeat shortly and quickly, as if it were asking, as the two instruments softened and merged into one.

   Fang Yuan frowned slightly. He unconsciously injected all his emotions that could not be explained into his music.

   The ensemble of violin and cello was like the quarrel they shared the last time they met.

  

  ‘就算我不明白,你可以告诉我啊!凭什么拿自己的性命开玩笑!!’

  ‘你想阻止我?好啊,那就现在杀了我!做不到,就放手!’

  他握住那只攥紧了刀子的手,抵在自己的脖颈。

  他以为自己已经陷入疯狂,在无能中狂怒到了极点,是个只会发疯的神经病,逼迫江衡时,没有注意到自己已经泪流满面。

  

  “嗡!”

  音调升到最高朝的部分,突然崩断,发出不和谐的声音。

‘Even if I don’t understand, you can tell me! Why are you risking your own life!’

  ‘You want to stop me? OK, then kill me now! If you can’t, just let me go! ’

   He pressed the knife against his neck.

   He thought he had fallen into madness. He was so furious by his incompetence that he went mad. When he forced Jiang Heng, he didn’t notice that he was already in tears.

  

   “Weng!”

The pitch rose to the peak and suddenly broke, making a discordant sound.

  

  “方缘!”

  江衡突然冲了过来,急忙检查他有没有受伤,担心则乱时,手指碰到方缘的颈侧,“都打红了……疼吗?”

  

  方缘睁开眼睛,愣愣地看着眼前的人,没有说话,眼圈却是红红的,看着分外可怜。

  “很疼吗?那、那我去取点药吧,你先别动……”

  

  “我没事。”方缘摇头,“我只是想起了一件事。”

  他下意识摸了一下自己的脸,还好,没有像那时候一样哭出来。

“Fang Yuan!”

   Jiang Heng suddenly rushed over and hurriedly checked whether he was injured. His finger touched Fang Yuan’s neck and said, “It’s red…does it hurt?”

  

   Fang Yuan opened his eyes and stared at the person in front of him in a daze. He didn’t speak, but his eyes were red, looking very pitiful.

   “Does it hurt? Let me get some medicine, don’t move…”

  

   “I’m fine.” Fang Yuan shook his head, “I just remembered something.”

   He subconsciously touched his face, but fortunately, he didn’t cry like he did at that time.

  

  “想起不好的事了?”

  “不全是……”方缘脑子有点乱,几乎气息不稳,他放下琴,然后猛地攥住了江衡的手腕,抬头逼视过去,“我想起来了……得到异能的唯一办法。”

  

  江衡也跟着愣住,在他直愣愣的视线中,紧张地屏住了呼吸,“我……”

  

  “感染丧尸的病毒,然后顺利活下来,就能有几率得到异能。”

  方缘死死盯着他,眼睛一眨不眨,说出这句话,几乎就要耗尽他的力气。

  他当初,就是因为知道了这个,冲动之下想要主动被感染,才有了后来的争吵,

  “我想起来了……我差点就忘记了,我怎么能忘记这么重要的事?江衡,你当时说,一个月过后,就告诉我真相?你竟然……”

“Remember something bad?”

“Not completely…” Fang Yuan was a little confused, and his breathing was almost unstable. He put down the violin, and then suddenly grabbed Jiang Heng’s wrist and looked up at him, “I remember…the only way to get an ability. “

  

   Jiang Heng also froze, meeting his gaze. He held his breath nervously, “I…”

  

   “Be infected with the zombie virus, then survive. Only then, you have a chance to get an ability.”

   Fang Yuan stared at him steadily, without blinking. Saying these words almost exhausted all his energy.

At that time, after learning about this, he wanted to be infected which led to their quarrel.

   “I remember…I almost forgot, how could I forget such an important thing? Jiang Heng, you said you would tell me the truth after a month? You actually…”

  

  “不、不是,方缘,你别生气,冷静一下,听我解释好不好?”江衡慌了,几乎是手足无措地蹲了下来,单膝跪在方缘面前,反握住他的双手,

  我会解释清楚的,我发誓我绝没有害你的意思,只是……”

  

  “你这样的人……”方缘垂眼看着他,在整首曲子的演奏中一直收放自如、从未崩断的情绪,在这一刻突然决堤,像是自制力终于被超越了极限,

  “你这样的人,怎么能拿自己的性命开玩笑呢?我以为任何人都会犯傻,唯有你不会,江衡,只有你不行。”

“No, no, Fang Yuan, don’t be angry, calm down. Listen to my explanation, okay?” Jiang Heng panicked, squatting down, almost at a loss. He knelt in front of Fang Yuan, holding his hand.

“I will explain clearly, I swear I never meant to harm you, just…”

  

“How can a person like you…” Fang Yuan looked down at him. His fluctuating emotions that were barely held together throughout the performance of the song suddenly broke through.

   “How can a person like you joke about your life? I think anyone can be stupid, but you can’t, Jiang Heng, only you can’t.”

  你明明那么拼命、那么努力地阻止过我,劝说过我。

  你明明是最清醒、最惜命的人。

  可如今怎么能呢?怎么能突然告诉我,早在一开始,你就犯了和我一样的错误。

  

  方缘颓然地坐下,陷在柔软的沙发里,忽然像是委屈极了,不管江衡怎么劝、怎么解释、怎么哄都听不进去,只是像天塌了一般没命流眼泪,声音也不出,他早就习惯了不出声地哭,因为声音会把丧尸引来。

  江衡只好不断地叫他,但方缘最多小声地问,“你怎么能这样呢。”

You obviously tried so hard to stop me and persuade me.

   You are obviously the calmest person who desires to live.

   But how can it be? How could you suddenly tell me that as early as the beginning of the apocalypse, you had made the same mistake I did?

  

Fang Yuan sat down and sank into the soft sofa. Suddenly he felt aggrieved. No matter how Jiang Heng persuaded, explained, or coaxed him, he wouldn’t listen. He just shed tears silently like the sky had fallen. He had long been used to crying silently, because any sound would attract the zombies.

   Jiang Heng kept calling him, but Fang Yuan only asked quietly, “How could you do this?”

  

  “我错了,我错了,我真的错了,”江衡看他这样,也吓得不行,恨不得要跟着一起抱住哭了,“是我不好,你别生气,别难过了,好吗?你看我现在不是活蹦乱跳好好的吗,世界不也是好好的吗?对不对?”

  

  不知过了多久,方缘终于平静下来,肿着眼睛,略带幽怨地望过去,

  “真的?”

  

  “真的真的!”江衡快没有办法了,

  “我没骗你啊,我发现自己重生的时候,就已经有异能了,我也不知道是怎么回事,应该只是我们俩的重生方式不一样,那些东西真的都清理干净了,就连最后的试剂和样品,我都一起毁掉了,渣渣都不剩的!”

“I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong,” Jiang Heng was so frightened when he saw him like this, he wished to hug and cry with him, “It’s me who’s not good. Don’t be angry, don’t be sad, okay? Do you see that I am alive and well now? Isn’t this world good??”

  

He didn’t know how long it took, but Fang Yuan finally calmed down. His eyes were swollen, and he looked over with a bit of resentment.

   “Really?”

  

   “Really!” Jiang Heng was almost out of options.

“I didn’t lie to you. When I was reborn, I already had powers. I don’t know what happened. It should be just that we two have different modes of rebirth. Those things have already been cleaned up. I destroyed the last reagents and samples, there is no residue left!”

  

  “我没生气。”

  方缘信了他,按照正常人的思维,也不可能好不容易重生了,还要故意去感染这些玩意儿,要是江衡真有什么别的想法阴谋,也不会一直宅到现在啥也不做,

  “我只是……有点累了,不完全是因为被你吓到,你快起来吧。”

  

  江衡这才敢起来,三步一回头的去拿伤药,他也不知道方缘这个琴弦怎么就这么锋利,还是方缘的皮肤太嫩了,抽一下红成那样。

  

  等方缘完全冷静下来,江衡也取了药回来帮忙抹,气氛又变得尴尬起来。

  或者,也可能是方缘单方面在尴尬,他想起自己刚才莫名其妙的脾气,就觉得脸皮子烧,恨不得把自己关屋里。

“I’m not angry.”

Fang Yuan believed him. According to normal people’s way of thinking, it is impossible to be reborn that easily, and he had to be deliberately infected by those things. If Jiang Heng really has any other ideas or plot, he would not stay at his home until now and do nothing.

   “I’m just…a little tired, it’s not completely because I was scared by you. Get up quickly.”

  

   Jiang Heng finally dared to get up. He turned his head and went to get medicine. He didn’t know why Fang Yuan’s string was so sharp, or why Fang Yuan’s skin was so tender that it turned red.

  

   After Fang Yuan calmed down, Jiang Heng also took the medicine back to help him tend to it and the atmosphere became awkward again.

   Or, it may be that Fang Yuan was embarrassed. When he remembered his inexplicable temper, he felt burnt out and wanted to shut himself in.

  可江衡偏偏这时候,死活的哪儿也不让他去。

  

  “你刚才那个曲子,挺好听的,叫……叫什么名?”江衡见他闷着,又回到第一天见面时候那么沉闷、疏离,忍不住找话题。

  但同时他又觉得,这时候的方缘,比第一天认识时候好多了,虽然闷闷的不理人,但是看起来很乖,让人很想亲近……

  他用一点药膏,放在方缘的皮肤上,药膏是冷的,他的指腹跟着发烫。

  

  “哦……记不清了,我看看。”方缘拿出手机,调出那首曲子的名字,是个英文的。

But Jiang Heng didn’t let him go anywhere at this time.

  

   “The tune you just played was pretty good. …What’s it called?” Jiang Heng saw his gloomy expression and recalled the first day when he met this dull and alienated person. He couldn’t help but look for topics.

   But at the same time, he felt that Fangyuan at this time was much better than when they met on the first day. Although he was gloomy and aloof, he looked good and made people want to get close…

   He used a little ointment and applied it on Fangyuan’s skin. The ointment was cold, and his fingertips became hot.

  

   “Oh… I can’t remember, let me see.” Fang Yuan took out his phone and looked up the name of the song, which was in English.

  江衡跟着看过去,轻声念了出来,

  “The Show Must Go On……好,我记住了。”

  

  “江衡。”方缘瞧着他认真的眼睛,“有一天你恢复了全部的记忆,也许会失望的。”

  “为什么会失望?”江衡不明所以。

  

  方缘摇头,他现在更不敢了,不敢告诉江衡,他们其实早就遇到过。

  不但相遇过,还争吵过,不欢而散,末日里的他们,和现在完全不一样。

Jiang Heng followed and read it out softly.

   “The Show Must Go On… Okay, I’ll remember it.”

  

   “Jiang Heng.” Fang Yuan looked at him with serious eyes, “One day when you will recover all your memories, you may be disappointed.”

   “Why would I be disappointed?” Jiang Heng didn’t know why.

  

   Fang Yuan shook his head, he was even more afraid now. He didn’t dare to tell Jiang Heng that they had actually met a long time ago.

   Not only met, but also quarreled, and parted ways. Their relationship was completely different during the apocalypse.

  

  “我是不是……那个时候,欺负过你?”

  江衡得不到答案,忍不住乱猜起来,“让我想想,我那时候是异能者,你说过你是普通人,方缘,你该不会早就认出我了,一直瞒着不说吧?”

  

  “我是你么,什么都瞒着不说。”方缘小声嘟囔,因为暂时占理,扯谎也扯得让人无法反驳。

  

  “好吧……”江衡给他抹好了药,顺手在他耳垂捏了一下,“虽然我整天盼着一觉醒来,想起和你有关的事,但其实,我才是怕你会失望的那一个。”

  “我??”方缘懵了,他有什么可失望的。

“Did I… bully you at that time?”

Jiang Heng couldn’t get an answer, so he couldn’t help guessing, “Let me think about it. I was an ability user at the time. You said that you were an ordinary person. Fang Yuan, you couldn’t have recognized me long ago and kept it from me, right?”

  

   “Who am I to you? Why would I do that?” Fang Yuan muttered in a low voice, it was a temporary rebuttal that left no room for refute.

  

“Okay…” Jiang Heng applied the medicine to him and squeezed his earlobe. “Although I look forward to waking up one day and recalling the things related to you, I am actually afraid that you will be the disappointed one.”

   “Me?” Fang Yuan was stunned. What could be disappointing for him?

  

  “是啊,我那时候毁了容,又丑,又吓人,又不爱说话,还面瘫,根本没人喜欢我,所以,我一直挺庆幸能重生一次,在这里认识你的。”

  江衡自觉诙谐,笑着说了起来,一边说一边无法想象地摇头,“不然让你看到我那时候的样子,恐怕初次的印象分就要清零咯~”

  

  “不会……”方缘偏开视线,俩人谁也不看谁,“你很好,我不会因为这种原因,就对你有负面的看法。”

  “那我也不会因为什么小事就失望。”江衡拐回话题,指指俩人,“你不会,我也不会,扯平了。”

“Yeah, I was disfigured at that time. Ugly, scary, not talkative, and had facial paralysis. No one likes me at all. Therefore, I have always been very lucky to be born again and meet you here.”

   Jiang Heng was smiled and shook his head as he said, “Otherwise, I would have let you see what I was like at that time, I’m afraid your first impression of me would be refreshed~”

  

   “No…” Fang Yuan looked away, and neither of them looked at each other. “You are very good, and I will not change my perception of you for this reason.”

   “I also won’t be disappointed because of small things.” Jiang Heng returned to the topic and pointed to the two of them, “You won’t, and I won’t, it’s even.”

  

  “无论你想起任何事?”

  “我要是真的失望了后悔了,说话不算数了,”江衡看着他,忍不住地猜测,他们究竟在什么情况相遇了,才让方缘这么紧张,

  “或者我犯浑了,不像话了,你就把我从这儿赶出去,让我滚。”

  

  方缘沉默了一会儿,似乎想清楚了。

  抬头,瞧见江衡又在笑。

  这家伙……

“No matter what you remember?”

   “If I go back on my words, and become disappointed,” Jiang Heng looked at him and couldn’t help but guess what circumstances they had met in to make Fang Yuan so nervous.

   “Or I’m muddled and act out of character, you can kick me out of here and tell me to scram.”

  

   Fang Yuan was silent for a while, seeming to have come to a decision.

 He looked up and saw Jiang Heng smiling again.

  This guy……

  

  “你笑什么?”

  “咳咳……没什么,你都这么说了,我肯定这几天就要想起你了嘛,高兴高兴。”江衡被他一戳穿,笑也不忍着笑了,笑得大白牙也露出来,“说不定我想起你了,病就好了呢?”

“Why are you laughing?”

“Ahem…It’s nothing, since you said that. I’m sure I will recall this in the next few days. I’m so happy.” Jiang Heng’s heart was pierced by him, and he couldn’t help but laugh, “Maybe when I remember you, my illness will be cured?”

[T/n: I got confused when Fang Yuan suddenly went hysterical. So if any of you are confused like me, let me try to explain. Feel free to correct me if you have another hypothesis because I may be wrong~

In his last life, Fang Yuan learnt that to gain an ability, he must be infected and then recover from it. So he wanted to try it but Jiang Heng stopped him. In his last life, Jiang Heng already had an ability, so it didn’t matter.

However, in this life, Jiang Heng already has an ability before the apocalypse. That’s why Fang Yuan thought he had deliberately infected himself with the zombie virus. Fang Yuan is upset because Jiang Heng is someone who fights hard to survive but he actually risked his life to do such a thing after stopping Fang Yuan in the last life.

FY and JH’s past is getting more interesting.]
