She feel so weak and tired. She guessed this is it, the last she will watch her husband In this world and her favorite place. Xiao Qiao lean back to him relaxing her body and her head on his board chest.
"look Xiao, it's sunset" his slender finger pointing at the sun. She open her eyes slightly and smiling sweetly.

"I love you, Xiao. Let's spend our time more tomorrow, okay?" now Xiao can't handle it anymore. Her tears pouring so hard and slowly closing her beautiful brown eyes.
"i love you too... Let's spend our time more tomorrow until the end..."
Now the sun has gone, Zhou Yu feel something odd on his wife. He put his finger on her tiny nose. Noticing no breath coming out from there. He pull closer her and kiss her head so long.
"...tomorrow it's just you and me... Wait for me there, I won't be long so you don't have feel lonely at there..."
