All Chapters of Lost Love Never Returns: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

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

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

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

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

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
