Chapter 11

It was drizzling slightly when the plane landed in Southsea.The damp breeze carried with it the scent of the city that was unfamiliar to Leona. She took a deep breath, gripping the handle of her suitcase tightly.This was the start of her new life.Southsea University was located in the heart of Southsea, a main southern city. The campus was lined with sycamore trees, offering a charm distinctly different from the northern cities she had known.Leona completed the registration process, received her dormitory key, and carefully unpacked her belongings.She deliberately avoided checking her phone as she knew the class group chat was still buzzing with discussions about Sebastian and Maureen.But none of that mattered to her anymore.She took out her new phone card, removed the old one, and discarded it without hesitation.The next day, her dormitory became livelier as her other three roommates arrived one by one. They were from all corners of the country, and though they had dis

The dance major was more demanding than Leona had imagined.Every morning, she and her classmates were in the practice room, stretching, working on shoulder flexibility, and repeating the monotonous yet essential foundational training.Sweat often soaked through their practice outfits, and in the afternoons, they were consumed by endless choreography rehearsals.Leona was often physically exhausted, but oddly, she felt a strange sense of fulfillment and peace inside.The painful memories she had buried deep in her heart seemed to be successfully locked away for the moment.Her roommates were all kind and friendly.They would squeeze together into the crowded cafeteria, and they would whisper and gossip after lights out. When Leona sometimes stared blankly out the window, they would quietly place a warm cup of hot chocolate on her desk without disturbing her thoughts.This perfect balance of companionship and space made Leona feel both comfortable and grateful.The dance club ha

Sebastian had become notorious for his isolation at school.After realizing that Leona had completely given up on him, he seemed to lose all motivation.Maureen's texts and calls continued to flood his phone, one after another, flashing with the same needy dependence that he had once found flattering but now only felt suffocating."Sebastian, come to the lecture with me this afternoon?""Let's grab dinner tonight! I found a great restaurant!""Why didn't you reply to me?"He glanced at the messages, his fingers swiping across the screen to silence the notifications.Soon, Maureen began to show up outside his classroom or dorm dressed in beautifully coordinated outfits, her face beaming with a perfect smile. But Sebastian merely glanced at her coldly and didn't stop in his steps."I'm busy.""I don't have time.""Go by yourself."His responses were brief but left no room for negotiation.Maureen's smile began to fade, replaced by a mix of disbelief, hurt, and resentment.Se

Sebastian's appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake. He showed up everywhere.Every morning, outside the lecture building, he would show up holding warm food from her favorite place. He would attempt to push it into her hands, saying, "Nana, you probably didn't have breakfast. Here you go."In the afternoon, outside the practice room, he would stand holding a large bouquet of white roses, attracting curious glances from passing students. "I remember you love white roses the most."In the evening, on the path leading back to the dorm, he would suddenly step out from behind a tree, blocking her way. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse as he repeated again and again, "Nana, let's talk for just five minutes, please? I was wrong about everything..."Every time, Leona's reaction was the same.Her gaze never lingered on his face for more than a second. When gifts were thrust in front of her, she simply went around them indifferently.If Sebastian insisted on

The gossip continued to spread like wildfire around Leona. She tried her best to block them out, focusing all her energy on dancing. But eventually, the inevitable caught up with her.The cafeteria was bustling with noise as usual. Leona had just sat down with her roommates when a sharp, familiar voice sliced through the chatter."Leona! You really deserve an award for your acting!"All eyes instantly turned toward the person speaking. Maureen stood in the center of the cafeteria. Her carefully made-up face was full of undisguised hatred and disdain. She marched straight toward Leona's table, her finger outstretched at Leona's face."You couldn't get Sebastian to stick around, so you decided to disappear? You act all pitiful, then pretend to be above it all, and hide out in some distant place, thinking that'll make him miss you?" Maureen's voice was sharp and full of venom. "What else can you do except play this pathetic game of push and pull? You were the one who broke up with

However, the peace was short-lived.Maureen's obsessive persistence did not fade after the public humiliation. Instead, it mutated into an even more persistent form of harassment.She no longer tried to stir up trouble in public. Instead, she began lurking around, quietly stalking Sebastian.She figured out his class schedule, and soon, she could be found at the lecture halls he frequented, the library, and even outside the men's dormitory, always lingering around like a ghost.By now, she had stopped crying loudly and throwing tantrums. Instead, she stared at him with eyes full of grief and resentment while asking over and over, "Sebastian, why are you doing this to me? You promised you'd take care of me. Have you forgotten that? Give me a proper explanation, or I won't leave!"This ongoing harassment was far more unsettling than her previous outbursts.Sebastian's patience had long run out. He always responded coldly and quickened his pace to avoid her, but she always seemed

Sebastian stood under the rain outside the dormitory, the droplets running off his hair and soaking his shoulders.He had lost count of how many times he had waited in vain.Every time, that familiar figure passed by him without even a glance.Time and again, he faced her cold and firm rejection.At first, he felt frustration, reluctance, and anger.But later, over the countless sleepless nights, he was forced to painstakingly retrace the past.His mind uncontrollably replayed the moments from before.That one time when Maureen posted on social media saying she was upset, and he immediately dropped everything to call her all night, leaving Leona sulking alone.Then there was the time when he climbed over the campus wall to get Maureen ginger tea, while forgetting how he had brushed Leona off when she was having period cramps by simply telling her to drink more water.There was also that celebration party, when he casually handed Maureen the best piece of watermelon and complet

Chapter 18

The annual dance competition at Southsea University was always a highly anticipated event, and the auditorium was packed to capacity.Leona performed a contemporary solo dance titled "Breaking the Cocoon".As the lights dimmed, a single cold beam of spotlight focused on the center of the stage.Dressed in simple black, Leona moved fluidly, yet with an underlying determination, as the music slowly built.At the climax, the music suddenly surged in its intensity, and her movements gained power. She leaped, fell, and rose again with unyielding resolve, finally ending in a difficult yet incredibly graceful backward bend.The lights blazed back on.There was a split second of silence before the audience erupted into thunderous applause.Breathing heavily, Leona stood tall before bowing to the crowd.In the front row, Gavin sat on the left and clapped enthusiastically, his gaze full of unrestrained admiration.While in the back row, another figure stood hidden in the shadows.Sebas

Chapter 19

Sebastian stood beneath the familiar tree outside Leona's dorm, stubbornly staring at the warm light coming from her window.His limbs had slowly gone numb, but the pain in his chest was relentless as each heartbeat echoed with a dull ache. He thought back to countless times in the past when he had waited like this outside her dorm after making her angry.No matter how upset she was back then, she would always soften in the end. Her eyes would redden as she ran down the stairs and into his arms.But this time was different.Students who left early rushed by with umbrellas, casting curious or pitying glances at him before quickly moving on.He was soaked through, his body trembling uncontrollably from the cold. His cheeks flushed unnaturally, and his head felt dizzy.Finally, the door to the dorm opened. It wasn't Leona who stepped out, but one of her roommates.She looked at the disheveled Sebastian, a flicker of complexity crossing her eyes. Finally, she sighed before stepping

Chapter 20

The news of Sebastian leaving Southsea University spread like a stone dropped into a calm lake, its ripples spreading faster than anyone had imagined.Within a day or two, it became a hot topic on the campus forum, and naturally, it made its way to where Leona was.During a break between classes, several girls gathered together and spoke in hushed tones, their excitement and curiosity barely concealed."Really? That super handsome guy who was always looking for Leona is gone?""The list's been posted, so it must be true. I heard he's going to a prestigious school in a distant country.""Wow, how sudden! Didn't he just—""Shh! Don't say anything more..."The gossip halted the moment Leona entered the classroom. A few curious and somewhat sympathetic glances were cast toward her.Leona's step faltered for just a moment, but then her expression returned to its usual composure as she walked to her seat.Her fingers tightened imperceptibly around the edges of her book, the pages cr
