lending a helping hand

Chapter 1:

Sun Ce was trying to get Sun Quan to get married. Zhou Yu and his wife Xiao Qiao found so many beautiful women for him, but Sun Quan didn't like any of them. Today, Sun Ce sat down with his younger brother to try and work things out. Sun Ce's wife Da Qiao brought donuts out for them to dunk in their tea and eat.

'Do you even want to get married? You know how much mother loves grandchildren and father says she'll do you good.'

Sun Quan sighed, 'I just don't think a wife would suit me right now, or ever.'

'Why not?'

'I don't think I'm really the marrying type. Remember in high school all the girls thought I was a dork?'

'Yeah because you were,' Sun Ce shrugged, 'And they stopped all that when you were in tenth grade.'

'Only because Zhou Tai came along.'

Sun Ce chuckled, 'Yeah now that's a guy I know for sure is not the marrying type.'

Sun Quan smiled dreamily, 'I know, he's so strong isn't he?' The look on Sun Ce's face was priceless after that.

'Oh my god. Quan are you gay?'

'I have no idea,' Sun Quan cried, 'It's just, none of the girls ever liked me and he, he's just so nice to me.'

'Nope, I'm not having any of that. We're gonna find you a nice girl and turn you back straight.'

'Right.'

Ling Tong was trying on his suit ready to go out on his hot date. Gan Ning was eating lunch on the sofa.

'How do I look?' Ling Tong asked as he walked in and did a little turn.

Gan Ning turned his head to look, 'You look like Tom Cruise.'

'What? damn that sucks.'

'Sucks to be you,' Gan Ning said as he left the house.

As Ling Tong was trying to find something else to wear, the doorbell rang. Ling Tong panicked, tripping over something as he tried to remember where the front door was.

'She's early!'

Before opening the front door, he tried to be a bit like Gan Ning. So he leaned against the door frame with his arm up, legs crossed and a sweet smile on his face. He opened the door.

'Hello gorgeous,' he said before realizing it was in fact Sun Ce.

'Oh please not you too, I've already got a gay brother.'

'No sorry, I was expecting somebody else.'

'Who? Gan Ning?'

'Nope.'

'A girl?'

'Yep.'

'Tidy.'

'So what can I do you for?' Ling Tong smiled.

'Well firstly, don't talk like that it freaks me out.'

'Sorry.'

'Sun Quan is a gay. He likes Zhou Tai.'

'Oh dear,' Ling Tong said trying very hard not to laugh.

Sun Ce sat down on the couch without realizing how low it was. Ling Tong joined him.

'I don't know what to do,' Sun Ce said, 'I mean I have nothing against gays, but I mean it's my brother, we grew up together. When we were little, we bathed together. Oh no!'

'Hey, hey calm down now,' Came Gan Ning's voice as he entered the room. 'It sounds like only a small thing that can be easily handled.'

'Really?'

'Of course. One of my old buddies went gay for a while but this fixed him up good. What you need to do is take him out to a strip club. Oh with women stripers.'

Sun Ce shook his head, 'I can't. Father forbid us to go to those sort of places.'

'Which would you prefer,' Gan Ning asked, 'Disobey your fathers orders for a good reason. Or have a gay brother.'

Sun Ce looked to Ling Tong, 'You gonna come?'

'You bet!'

'Let's do this. We'll take Quan to a strip club.'

'We'd better take Zhou Tai too,' Ling Tong said. 'Just in case, so we won't have to make another stop there in the future.'
