"You should never go back to an ex! Even dogs won't eat the old grass!"
After stuffing herself with it: "Actually, it's pretty good."

1.
In their senior year of high school, the whole class knew Jiang Qingchen liked Lin Zhisheng.
The sheet of scratch paper covered in the name "Lin Zhisheng" was accidentally tucked into an exam paper, passed around the whole class, and finally drifted into Lin Zhisheng's hands.
Amid the teasing, Jiang Qingchen blushed and went to ask him for it back.
But Lin Zhisheng smiled brightly.
"You wrote my name on it, so it's mine. What makes you think you can take it back?"
2.
Ten years later, Lin Zhisheng was the one asking for something back.
The heavy rain seemed to topple the city. Lin Zhisheng's eyes were red, but he held back his tears.
He looked like a soaked, stubborn, flustered little dog.
"Jiang Qingchen, I have your name tattooed on me. I'm yours. How can you just throw me away like this? How can you bear it?"
3.
Jiang Qingchen never thought that at the age when she should have been most willing to dream about love, she would accept a bank card with 500,000 yuan on it, take a one-way ticket, leave Lin Zhisheng, and resolutely head to Paris.
Nor did she ever think that at the age when she should have been least willing to dream about love, she would give up the bread she had already secured, return to that desolate little town, and search for traces of the past.
If reality is always at odds with what she wants, then...
"Lin Zhisheng, I never want to see you again!"

You said the night view along the Seine was beautiful, the moonlight like water.
But, oh moon, you had long since set by the time my morning came.
