As her body lost balance, Ye Li panicked and let out a gasp.

Hearing an unusual sound, Chu Ge opened his eyes slightly and saw Ye Li struggling to keep her balance. Yet her foot slipped, and she was about to fall.

Seeing this, Chu Ge quickly reached out to support Ye Li, finally sparing her from the danger of falling to the ground.

However, he intended to help Ye Li stand straight, but unexpectedly, Ye Li's body suddenly trembled and swayed, her left foot tripping over her right. Naturally, she couldn't maintain her balance and changed direction, falling towards him onto the sofa.

No wonder Ye Li had such a reaction; she was already panicked as she nearly fell. In the dark, she was quite tense, so she was even more startled at that moment, becoming more flustered.

In Chu Ge's view, he saw Ye Li panic and fall toward him, but he made no further moves, allowing Ye Li to fall toward him face-first.

Anyway, in this direction, there was only him and the sofa. However Ye Li fell, there wouldn't be any danger. To avoid embarrassment, Chu Ge simply closed his eyes again, pretending he hadn't woken up at all; let her fall if she must.

First, there was a whoosh of wind, then a "thud" sounded by Chu Ge's ear, but his body wasn't squeezed. Only his cheek was gently brushed by Ye Li's hair, and his head sank a bit more into the sofa.

Even with his eyes closed, Chu Ge could tell from the situation that Ye Li must have propped herself up on the sofa with her hands, preventing herself from falling onto him.

Chu Ge couldn't help but find it amusing, estimating that Ye Li was likely more terrified than him in the current situation.

"Senior! Are you okay?" Shu Lulu asked with concern, having regained her composure.

"No... I'm okay." Ye Li wanted to get up, but her arms felt weak. Keeping her hands on the sofa, she turned her head awkwardly and forced a smile.

"That's good. You nearly scared me to death just now. Luckily, you fell onto the sofa," Shu Lulu said softly, relieved, patting her chest and walking over quietly.

Hearing the conversation between the two girls, Chu Ge felt speechless. Can they even do anything right? It's so late, and they're not sleeping?

At this point, Shu Lulu, like Ye Li, was also startled, seeing that Chu Ge hadn't woken up. She then approached Ye Li and whispered, "Senior, you're so considerate; you even thought of coming out to put a coat on uncle."

After a while, Ye Li regained some strength, stealthily left the sofa, gestured for silence to Shu Lulu, and then walked back to the bedroom as quietly as possible.

However, after Ye Li had taken two steps, Shu Lulu grabbed her arm and mischievously whispered, "Senior, uncle hasn't even woken up. Why are you so nervous? Besides, you're uncle's girlfriend. I'm uncle's sidekick. Even if we wake him up, it wouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Ye Li's face turned bright red. Why did this sound so weird and awkward?

But Ye Li realized that Shu Lulu was deliberately teasing her, showing a little false bravado. Clearly, she wasn't as indifferent as she pretended to be.

"Stop it. You need to go to the bathroom, don't you? Hurry up then, and let's get back to our rooms. If Brother Chu wakes up, it'll be so awkward, won't it?"

"Don't worry, Senior. You almost fell on uncle's body, and he didn't wake up. We're speaking so softly; it'll be fine."

"Lulu, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I have a great idea! You hang a shirt on uncle's face, put him in a few poses, and then we'll secretly take a picture. How about that? I was planning to go to the bathroom, so I conveniently took my phone with me."

Ye Li's face turned even redder, pulling at Shu Lulu's hand with helplessness and embarrassment, "Are you crazy? How could you even think of that? If Brother Chu finds out, he'll definitely be mad."

Shu Lulu giggled, shaking her head proudly, "Senior, don't worry. He's sleeping so soundly he won't know. Besides, I suggested this not just for fun but also for the sake of our friendship."

Little did they know, Chu Ge was fully awake at that moment, listening to the two girls' conversation loud and clear, feeling both amused and helpless. Even without opening his eyes, he could imagine Shu Lulu's mischievous and smug expression.

However, in this situation, he really couldn't open his eyes and could only endure his amusement to continue listening to what cunning plan this little girl had come up with and how Ye Li would respond.

"For our friendship? What... what do you mean by that?"

"Think about it, if we take this photo, we can totally have leverage over the uncle. If he's nice to us, this photo can just be our little secret. But if he dares to bully us, like spanking me again today, hmph... you get it, right?"

While speaking, Shu Lulu suddenly grabbed the shirt from Ye Li's hand when she wasn't paying attention, grinning mischievously. She crept over to Chu Ge and draped the shirt over his face, looking even more pleased with herself.

"Lulu, are you... are you really going to take a photo?" Ye Li was truly flustered, hesitating, afraid that moving the shirt too much might wake Chu Ge from his sleep.

"Of course I am, sis. Look at uncle's pose here, doesn't it look cool? Super cool, right!" Shu Lulu raised an eyebrow and made a victory sign at Ye Li with her free hand.

Chu Ge was now utterly defeated by Shu Lulu, feeling more speechless than ever, with imaginary black lines falling all over him.

If this little girl really does take the picture, never mind if she'd use it against him later, just the thought of someone else seeing it was enough to give him a headache.

Filled with a mix of amusement and annoyance, Chu Ge really wanted to sit up suddenly and scare Shu Lulu.

However, considering Ye Li was also present, Chu Ge couldn't do that. Instead, he pretended to turn over in his sleep just as Shu Lulu raised her phone, causing the shirt draped over his face to fall to the ground with a "plop."

Seeing Chu Ge move, Shu Lulu's hand holding the phone shook a bit, and Ye Li gave a big jump, her heart leaping into her throat.

But seeing Chu Ge make no further movements, as if merely turning in his sleep, Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly picked up the shirt from the ground, and gave Shu Lulu a reproachful and embarrassed look before quickly returning to the bedroom.

"Sis, sis, if you miss this chance, it won't come again. What a great opportunity, don't go."

But Ye Li left without looking back, and Shu Lulu, unwilling to give up, mumbled after her, but Ye Li didn't pause at all, leaving Shu Lulu to frustratedly scratch her head, detour to the bathroom, and then head back to the bedroom.

Hearing the footsteps of the two girls leaving and their whispering once inside the bedroom, Chu Ge shook his head speechlessly and tried to get back to sleep.

But, thinking about the night's events, Chu Ge found them quite amusing and couldn't fall asleep at all.

As he pondered, he somehow linked these incidents to He Junming's game idea, and suddenly, an idea popped into his head about how to further refine the game. If feasible, it could be another highlight.

For instance, when playing hacky sack, Shu Lulu was always showing off her figure to him. So suppose the hacky sack is a monster or obstacle in the game, and Shu Lulu is the character. Following the conventions of parkour games, when Shu Lulu gets hit by a monster, that's game over.

However, inspired by this, Chu Ge felt he could certainly do something interesting with the game character settings.

For example, during parkour, characters don't need to collect items; the initial setting is that they have two "lives." This way, even clumsy players won't immediately lose.

Meaning, as long as the game is interesting, it can quickly familiarize players with the controls, capture their attention, and extend their gameplay time.

As for how to make the game interesting, He Junming previously mentioned melding classic games like Super Mario and Contra to bring a nostalgic feel, which is a major highlight. Chu Ge thought it would also be a highlight if different characters had different reactions when hit by monsters, as long as it was designed well.

For example, when a female character first encounters a monster and loses the initial "life," her clothes would be destroyed, leaving only her underwear. She would need to collect certain items to get dressed again.

This way, it would attract many male players, who might deliberately avoid recovery items just to view this scene.

Theoretically, this makes players more likely to "die," promoting certain players to spend money to buy "lives" with in-game vouchers or related items, which would also increase player interest as they compete for higher scores with friends.

A significant part of a game's charm lies in its competitiveness. With peer comparison, the game's lifecycle would be extended even further.

With the same setup, adding dress-up elements might interest a lot of female players as well, allowing them to purchase preferred outfits with coins or vouchers, which captures the essence of simulation games.

Of course, the visuals shouldn't be too revealing. As long as it's fresh and interesting with a hint of that taste, it would be enough; otherwise, it would easily get censored.

The more Chu Ge thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. If these elements could all be combined, it would probably surprise the players.
