"Why are you standing here all alone?" Xiamu looked up to see his brother-in-law walking up to his side. "Shouldn't you be out there? It's a party for you and Zelie."
Xiamu was rubbing his hands strangely as he avoided looking at Jie and said, "I know. But it's a little..."
"Overwhelming," Jie finished his sentence for him. And Xiamu nodded his head in response.
"Everyone's been congratulating since the time I came. I don't know how to say this..." he sighed in exasperation.
"You aren't happy?" inquired Jie softly.
Xiamu instantly shook his head. "No way. I'm very happy. I'm so happy I can't even tell you in words. But... Being a father is not an easy job. I think you'd know it better than me." Xiamu looked towards the garden through the window and smiled softly, "Everybody also seems very happy for me. You know seeing you all doing an amazing job at being a father, I'm a little scared if I'd be able to be like you or not."
