"Got caught by you, huh."

Huang Kaiwen lowered his voice and said, "Short people have surely been teased as they grew up, and for him, it’s because of an illness. If I put my arm around his shoulder, he’d have to look up at me, and what if he feels uncomfortable?"

"You always think of others."

Ramos said helplessly.

Because he understood Huang Kaiwen’s habits, he noticed that Huang Kaiwen was very attentive to others’ customs, nationality, religion, emotional status... every aspect, during daily interactions.

If it were him, he might go crazy.

Huang Kaiwen smiled and shook his head.

This was a habit he developed since childhood.

The two of them also went to the training field. Gattuso pointed at Messi with his chin and asked, "Why did he take forever to come out? I saw him go into the locker room over twenty minutes ago."

"Couldn’t find a locker."

Huang Kaiwen said with a laugh.

Gattuso complained, "He could just use any available one first, that’s way too honest."

"So you need to look out for him more."

Huang Kaiwen laughed.

After warm-up, a few of them started playing around.

Huang Kaiwen suggested making Gattuso the monkey while the three of them teased him.

Gattuso rolled his eyes but still went along, after all, there were new teammates.

Once he stood in the middle of the three, Gattuso realized he made a mistake.

Huang Kaiwen’s skills were undisputed, even standing still, it was hard to get the ball from him.

But the new kid was also outrageous, his feet always moved a step faster than Gattuso’s, it was then that Gattuso realized why it was so difficult playing against Barça.

This kid’s reactions are damn fast!

Every time he reached out his foot, Messi could always transfer the ball to his other foot.

"Sergio, you’re dead meat!"

Gattuso could only target Ramos.

Ramos wasn’t afraid of Gattuso at all, his footwork was also decent.

Plus, in physical confrontations, he wasn’t afraid of Gattuso at all.

Gattuso chose to stick close and tussle with Ramos, who, with his height and leg length advantage, just pushed the ball to the farthest distance, making it impossible for Gattuso to touch.

Gattuso wanted to go around to steal the ball, but Ramos’ feet were very agile too, always holding his position firm.

As soon as he moved a bit farther away, Ramos quickly lobbed the ball to Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen gently bent his knee, stopping the ball with his shoulder.

Messi felt like he was seeing his big brother Ronaldinho.

Gattuso simply sat down on the grass and cursed, "Not playing anymore, you little punks, you have no idea! When I was young, I still had to polish the first team’s boots!"

"Being old doesn’t mean scoring more, scoring more doesn’t mean higher status, higher status doesn’t mean unsellable..." Huang Kaiwen laughed and said, "I can say many more inequalities like this, want to hear more?"

Except for the first line, all could hit right at Messi’s former future at Barça.

"Kid, your footwork is really nimble!"

Gattuso didn’t pay attention to Huang Kaiwen, pointing at Messi and said.

Messi gave an embarrassed smile, not being very familiar with Gattuso.

Not long after, Buffon arrived at the training field, and upon seeing Messi, Buffon pointed at him and said, "Last time you scored against my goal, want to try again now?"

Outstanding players always leave a deep impression.

Without waiting for Messi to speak, Huang Kaiwen reached out and asked, "Can we count it as a team effort?"

"Just forget it."

Buffon immediately rubbed his shoulder and said, "I just remembered, my body hasn’t recovered yet."

"Bullying the softie’s what that is!"

Gattuso joked, not even bothering to lower his voice.

But Buffon didn’t retort.

Huang Kaiwen almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.

When did Messi get labeled as ’soft’?

One after another, Milan players’ judgment about football now might be slightly problematic.

As teammates continued to arrive at the training ground, it became thoroughly lively.

After all, Messi is one of the best-performing players in recent years, there’s no Milan player who doesn’t know him.

What’s more, there was Inzaghi dragging Messi to introduce him to teammates one by one.

Guardiola cast an inquisitive glance at Huang Kaiwen.

Curious about what’s going on with Inzaghi and Messi.

Huang Kaiwen could only shrug helplessly, the situation here is too complex to explain.

After greeting his new teammates, Guardiola didn’t make Messi stand out alone.

Thus, Messi’s first day of training at Milan quietly concluded.

January 4th.

The whole team pretended not to know.

When preparing to head home in the evening.

Inzaghi pushed a cake cart, giving Kroos a surprise.

Teammates who had "left" one by one popped out.

Messi, who joined in the prank, finally felt that Milan and Barça really are different teams.

January 8th.

An away league match against Atalanta.

Guardiola didn’t include Messi in the squad, leaving him in Milan City with Huang Kaiwen and others.

Shopping with Antonella on Via della Spiga, Messi was caught red-handed by the media.

A reporter approached, identified himself, and said, "I’m Bord Rini from the ’Milan Sports Newspaper’, are you interested in an interview?"

"Uh, sure!"

Messi nodded instinctively.

Seeing him like that, Rini pointed to a café by the street and said, "I’m not from the IRS, let’s sit over there."

"Let’s go."

Antonella pulled Messi and said.

She promptly ordered coffee and sat right next to Messi.

Rini asked, "How does it feel to transfer to Milan, the local customs, food, weather, team culture... you can talk about anything."

Messi thought for a moment and said, "Milan has a stronger sense of history, whereas Barcelona is more commercially developed."
