Huang Kaiwen vaguely remembered what Kaka's current girlfriend, Caroline, looked like.

Well, she was a beauty, fitting his aesthetic.

The system wasn't entirely slandering him.

For the sake of Kaka, he had decided to overhaul the Milan Lab, and Kaka's knee injury was no longer an issue. Wasn't that far more important than a woman who was destined to divorce him?

Once the knee injury was resolved, the duration of Kaka's career peak would actually be shorter.

The key problem was Cristina Sampaio.

As for Caroline, that was Caroline's own initiative.

Even if he didn't accept Caroline, her heart had already changed; unless he completely ignored her and they never crossed paths again.

But that would affect his relationship with Kaka, so this matter was inevitable.

One could only say that he, Huang, possessed too much charm; even Kaka's girlfriend couldn't resist it.

Therefore, he still had to deal with that Cristina Sampaio.

In his past life, he had seen the news: there was this pretty girl who proposed to Kaka at the national team's training base, and the next day, Kaka announced his engagement to Caroline. So, Kaka and Cristina Sampaio didn't have much of a connection.

Without Caroline, it would be easier for Kaka to accept Cristina Sampaio.

That girl didn't seem very old, but in Brazil, it was normal for someone around 20 to be experienced; Kaka, who remained chaste before marriage, was the anomaly.

To solve this problem, he needed to find Kaka a reliable girlfriend after he broke up with Caroline.

This Cristina Sampaio not only ruined Kaka but also caused him to live three years less than his previous fate had shown. Even Huang Kaiwen couldn't help but exclaim that this woman was terrifying.

He had a headache now.

Besides, Huang Kaiwen hadn't even met Caroline yet. Being asked to solve this, he didn't know what to do.

He would just take it one step at a time.

As long as she broke up with Kaka, he would immediately find Kaka a new girlfriend for a seamless transition. That would suffice. Anyway, Barbara had plenty of wealthy girlfriends; maybe Kaka would strike it rich overnight.

Thinking about it, he really didn't have it easy. He acknowledged a brother, feared for his injuries, so he hired a miracle doctor. Beyond the injuries, he still had to worry about his emotional life. Even Guan Yu wasn't as loyal as he, Huang, was, right?

As the saying went: "Shameless Lin Supo, loyal to the heavens Huang Kaiwen."

Huang Kaiwen sighed, finished his shower, and went out to continue playing video games.

On August 4, after confirmation from Gianni Nanni, Huang Kaiwen was fully recovered.

He received a warm welcome from the first team.

Huang Kaiwen wore a look of utter despair.

Ancelotti's increasingly round face was full of wrinkles as he smiled and announced with great ambition: "Kevin's return is good news. We will definitely achieve great results this season."

Huang Kaiwen squeezed out a smile and said: "After training, I'll treat everyone to a meal. Here's to us winning multiple championships this season. Since my family isn't around today, we can even have a second round after dinner!"

"Long live Kevin!!!"

Inzaghi looked excited.

He could finally drag the whole team out to party.

Inzaghi had always wanted to show off his dominance in nightclubs in front of all his teammates, letting these people know how impressive he, Filippo, was.

That night, Huang Kaiwen treated the first team to a nightclub after dinner, and the coaching staff was dragged along too.

He hadn't expected Ancelotti to be such a playboy.

Inzaghi really did have some tricks up his sleeve; no wonder he was so keen on playing. Good-looking people could always do whatever they wanted, while those who looked like Rooney had to make up for their faces with money.

Seeing that Kaka was a bit uncomfortable, Huang Kaiwen took the two brothers out to chat up women.

Unfortunately, Kaka ran off after dancing with someone, which made Huang Kaiwen feel it was a pity.

All night, besides chatting up women, everyone teased Kaka. Even his younger brother, Digao, was better than him.

The whole Milan team had a decent time. With the coaching staff present, no one went too far.

Days passed one by one. Huang Kaiwen had been back in training for over a week, during which he only suffered a minor bruise once.

When Maldini accepted an interview at the entrance of Milanello, he said: "Kevin's return is a major benefit for the team. His strength is obvious to all. Kevin is the future of Milan and an important part of the team. We all like him very much. Now, I am very confident in competing for one or even several honors."

On August 15, the opening match finally arrived.

Milan welcomed Livorno to the San Siro, a not-so-strong opponent.

Ancelotti announced the squad list in advance. Although Huang Kaiwen couldn't start, he was on the bench.

The fans were very happy to see this news.

Huang Kaiwen had only played one friendly match in the summer before becoming a regular patient. Now that he could make the bench, it meant his body had recovered and he could play.

This was great news for Milan.

Just three minutes into the match, Seedorf intercepted the ball in the front court, charged into the penalty area, and broke through Livorno's goal.

Taking the lead so quickly, the Milan fans went crazy with joy.

Ancelotti smiled at Huang Kaiwen and said: "Don't worry, even if we are trailing, I will give you a chance to play today."

Thank you.

Huang Kaiwen chose to extract his expectation value.

[Ding, 1994-1995 season Juventus vs. Fiorentina, Del Piero experience card]

That would do.

Del Piero was also a big shot.

He just didn't know what Del Piero's form was like in this match.

Just as he was drawing the card, Livorno equalized. Lucarelli received a pass from Vigiani and broke through Milan's goal. Milan had only led for six minutes.

This made Ancelotti's expression look unpleasant.

Fortunately, before halftime, Kaka assisted Seedorf to take the lead again.

However, not long after the second half started, the in-form Lucarelli successfully broke through the center-back combination of Maldini and Stam. After successfully beating the offside trap, he scored again against the goal guarded by Dida. After conceding consecutive goals, Dida was so embarrassed and angry that he elbowed Lucarelli and was sent off with a red card.

Huang Kaiwen, who had been warming up on the sidelines, immediately welcomed Abbiati.

"Christian, what a coincidence, you're warming up too?"

Abbiati felt what Huang Kaiwen said was funny and couldn't help but laugh out loud, immediately receiving a "death stare" from Ancelotti.

The two entered the pitch together. This time, Huang Kaiwen replaced Rui Costa.

Since Seedorf had already scored two, Ancelotti couldn't just substitute Seedorf alone.

Having had the experience of Beckham last time, Huang Kaiwen adapted as soon as he stepped onto the pitch.

Del Piero's ball control was excellent. Kaka played a cross, and Huang Kaiwen, who appeared on the right today, immediately dribbled the ball quickly toward the opponent's penalty area. The position on the edge of the opponent's box felt very familiar to him; this might be the so-called "Del Piero Zone."

Seeing that there were many opposing defenders, he took a long-range shot directly from outside the box.

Bang—

The quality of this shot was very high, and the Livorno goalkeeper only managed to tip the ball over the crossbar.

The Milan fans erupted in cheers.

They didn't expect Huang Kaiwen to show such excellent form as soon as he returned.

La Gazzetta dello Sport had even said that Kevin might be washed up; they would go splash paint on their office as soon as the match ended.

Kaka gave Huang Kaiwen a thumbs up.

As a master of long-range shots, Kaka felt that Huang Kaiwen's skill in this shot was no less than his own.

Because Pirlo wasn't there, Seedorf prepared to take the corner kick.

Huang Kaiwen thought for a moment, walked to the corner flag, and said: "I'll take it."

Seedorf waved his hand and let him have it.

Huang Kaiwen aimed at the center of the penalty area, took a run-up, and delivered the corner. He intentionally kept this ball very close to the goal.

Maldini, standing at the near post, jumped and flicked his head, nodding the ball into the net.

Milan completed the comeback.

Maldini ran all the way to the corner flag, hugged Huang Kaiwen, and encouraged him: "Great pass, this ball was so comfortable."

"It's mainly because you're amazing."

He was hugged by Maldini as they returned to the center circle.

As play resumed, Huang Kaiwen actively pressed the very active Lucarelli. Lucarelli made a quick back-pass, and Huang Kaiwen continued to chase the ball.

"Kevin is very active since returning to the pitch. I have already felt his determination; he is clearly a guy full of fighting spirit," before the Italian commentator could finish praising him, he immediately exclaimed: "Kevin and Vigiani collided! He is holding his ankle in pain. Fortunately, Ancelotti didn't use three substitutions at once; now Milan has to use their final substitution quota."
