In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1433 Sleeping Alone (Part 2)

Hiroshi looked at the bed in front of him: "I never expected it to be this troublesome."

"Anyway, I can just assemble it before I go to sleep," Misae shrugged.

“But those workers definitely want it to be done as quickly as possible,” Mingxu said, shrugging.

“Of course.” Hiroshi nodded in agreement, but Misae was a little conflicted: “But even if we help Shin-chan assemble the bed, will he really sleep alone? I trust Asahi, but Shin-chan, is he really okay with it?”

Hiroshi was also uncertain: "Who knows? Anyway, he'll have to be independent someday, so maybe this is a good opportunity."

Misae nodded in agreement: "That's right, let's just say that."

"My bed~" Shin-chan happily bounced around on the bed upstairs. The one Mingxu chose was indeed quite sturdy. No matter how much Shin-chan bounced around, there was no wobbling at all. However, people downstairs could hear the noise upstairs: "That Shin-chan is bouncing around again."

"Sigh, I'm still so excited," Misae said, shaking her head.

"It'll be over soon. I hope Xiaoxin can sleep alone tonight." Mingxu smiled. Everyone wanted to be alone in a room when they were young, but in the long nights, everyone gave up on the idea of ​​being alone.

After jumping around for a while, Shin-chan went downstairs and carried his toys back upstairs. Looking at the toys, he was very happy. Then, he remembered something and went downstairs to the kitchen, where he started rummaging around.

"Hmm. What's wrong?"

"What are you doing?" Mingxu asked, puzzled.

"Where are the cookies?" Shin-chan asked, looking at them with a puzzled expression.

Misae paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh, right, I don't think I've given you any snacks today." As she spoke, she took out some cookies from a bag on the table and handed them to Shin-chan, "Here, but if you eat too much, you won't be able to eat dinner. Just have a little bit."

"Okay~" Shin-chan said, grabbing the cookies and running upstairs.

"Wait, where are you going?" Misae was taken aback and hurriedly followed.

Mingxu shrugged; "Go back to your room and eat on the bed." This isn't what every child wants to do when they get their own bed. If nothing unexpected happens, all of Xiaoxin's toys should be on the bed.

After they went upstairs, they saw Shinichi's toys on his bed. Misae exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, they're arranged so neatly!"

Shin-chan looked at Misae smugly: "Mommy, do you want to sleep here too?"

"No need to thank you for your kindness. Oh, right, Shin-chan. You can't eat here." With that, Misae took Shin-chan's cookies away.

"Ah, why?" Shin-chan immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

Mingxu casually explained, "Because the bed isn't a place to eat snacks. If you do, there will be crumbs that are hard to clean up."

"Ah~ it would be even more perfect if there were some cookies!" Shin-chan immediately puffed out his cheeks. "Mommy~"

"No way~" Misae resolutely refused, and Shin-chan had no choice but to go downstairs to the living room to eat.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost dusk. Xiaoxin looked outside and then looked at Mingxu with some impatience: "Xiaoxu, isn't it evening yet?"

"It won't be that fast." Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin helplessly: "It will probably be a while before it gets dark."

"Ah~" Shin-chan suddenly puffed up his face.

"Besides, I haven't had dinner yet," Mingxu said, shrugging.

"Ah! Then let's hurry up and eat dinner!" Shin-chan looked towards the kitchen: "Mom, is dinner ready yet?"

"Mom's making it," Misae replied without turning her head.

"Ugh~ Why don't you get here sooner tonight?" Shin-chan muttered. Hiroshi, who was lying there watching TV, found Shin-chan's words somewhat amusing: "It's the same every day, you never arrive early."

"I just want it to get dark sooner today," Shin-chan muttered.

"There's no use in rushing anyway." Mingxu shrugged. "You might as well go tidy up the toys on your bed, otherwise you won't be comfortable sleeping."

"No! Disobedient nights!" Shin-chan looked at the sky and puffed out his cheeks in dissatisfaction.

As darkness fell, after the Nohara family finished dinner, Shin-chan washed up and excitedly ran upstairs: "Goodnight everyone~"

"He ran upstairs without saying a word. I wonder if he'll be lonely sleeping alone?" Misae and Hiroshi sighed as they watched Shin-chan's retreating figure.

"It seems that we are the ones who feel lonely," Hiroshi remarked with some emotion.

"?" Mingxu looked at them in confusion: "Then I'll move out too?"

"Alright, stop fooling around. If nothing unexpected happens, that area over there will most likely become Xiao Xu's nap spot." Hiroshi thought about Shin-chan's personality and couldn't help but sigh. This kid doesn't seem to like just one person.

“Possibly.” Mingxu nodded.

The group returned to the bedroom, and Hiroshi was taken aback when he saw the beds: "Huh? Why did you make Shin-chan's bed?"

"Ah, I'm used to laying it out every day." Misae paused for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly.

Hiroshi shook his head: "Remember that kid is a man, so you don't need to worry. He can sleep on his own. But if he comes and says he's too scared to sleep on his own, you absolutely can't be soft-hearted!" Hiroshi warned.

"I understand." Misae nodded.

The group lay in their blankets, listening to the sounds coming from upstairs. Xiao Kui was already asleep.

Shin-chan rolled around on his bed, too excited to sleep.

However, after playing for a while, Shin-chan's enthusiasm waned. He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Misae looked at the ceiling worriedly: "I wonder if he's asleep or not."

“Who knows?” Hiroshi rolled over.

Xiao Xin was also wondering if the people downstairs were asleep. After thinking it over, Xiao Xin went downstairs to take a look and found that they were all asleep. He went back upstairs. Ming Xu glanced over there and shook his head. He still wasn't used to it.

After Shin-chan left, Misae suddenly sat up and looked out the door.

"Don't go," Hiroshi stopped Misae.

"I know." Misae sighed, turned over in bed, and Shin-chan, upstairs, looked at the ceiling. Suddenly, the wood grain seemed to reveal something to him, and he shrank into the blankets in fear.

"Ah~ I can't sleep. Oh right, when I can't sleep, I have to count the butlers. One butler..."

As Shin-chan spoke, he started counting. But why was he counting this thing?

Downstairs, Misae was still worried about Shin-chan: "I wonder if he's alright? This is the first time he's slept alone, sigh~ and he's not used to sleeping in a bed, will he be unable to sleep because of this? What if he falls out of bed when he turns over? Oh right, right around the bed!" Suddenly Misae remembered something, took some cushions from the closet, and prepared to go upstairs to surround Shin-chan's bed.

But before she could do anything, Xiao Kui woke up and started crying loudly; it seemed she was hungry.

Mingxu sighed helplessly. It seemed that no one would be able to sleep well tonight.

Shin-chan heard the noise and quickly ran downstairs.

"Xiao Kui! Is it because I no longer feel lonely?"

"Huh? Shin-chan, were you woken up? I've never been woken up when I used to sleep next to you." Misae fed Himawari, looked at Shin-chan, and said with some emotion.

Shin-chan looked at Himawari, somewhat puzzled: "Does Himawari cry every day?"

"Yes, it happens every night, but he falls asleep as soon as he finishes his milk, so don't worry." Misae comforted Shin-chan, "Okay, Shin-chan, go to sleep now, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."

"Okay~" Shin-chan nodded and left. Misae thought for a while, then got up. Mingxu looked at Misae and asked, "Mom, are you going upstairs?"

"Oh, Xiaoxu, you're awake too." Misae was startled when she heard the voice.

“Yes,” Mingxu said, sounding somewhat helpless.

“In that case, let’s go upstairs. You can help Mom carry these things,” Misae said, pointing to the mat on the floor.

"Okay." After the three of them went upstairs and arranged the mattress around the bed, they slept on the bed with Shin-chan.

When Hiroshi woke up in the morning, he was stunned to see the empty room: "Where did they go?"

After thinking for a moment, he went upstairs and looked at his family snuggled together. A smile appeared on Hiroshi's face: "I really can't do anything with you guys." As he spoke, Hiroshi lay down as well. Luckily, the bed they bought back then was big enough, a 1.5-meter bed, just right for the whole family.

In the morning, after everyone woke up, they looked around and couldn't help but smile.

However, Shin-chan didn't want to continue sleeping, just like everyone else thought.
