Chapter 157 (Bonus Chapter) Forum Style (Chinese)

(Continued from the previous chapter)

135th floor: It seems like all these sweet moments started from the 2007/08 season, and they were like a storm, going all out, forgetting everything, and going crazy! It feels a bit sudden, are there any earlier materials?

Floor 134: Cabrini was promoted to the first team in the 2006/07 season, back when he was still wearing number 66. He didn't get much playing time, didn't receive much attention, and of course, there wasn't much material about him. But it seems like he already had a good relationship with Kaká back then, and they often sat together.

135th floor: It's really pleasing to the eye to sit next to Kaka. Now they're holding hands and going to Real Madrid together. It seems that Kaka is the true love.

136th floor: Nonsense, his true love is definitely Pirlo. He almost went to Chelsea with Pirlo, but Real Madrid couldn't reach an agreement. Cabrini was determined to be with Pirlo, and he only went to Real Madrid after Pirlo's transfer fell through.

1. 37th floor: I also think Pirlo is the true love. In all the materials circulating about Cabrini, whenever Pirlo is mentioned, you can feel his preference for Pirlo. On a radio show, when the host asked who the most handsome person in the Milan team was, he also said it was Pirlo. His description of Pirlo is definitely from a boyfriend's perspective, and the kind of boyfriend perspective that is very love-struck.

Floor 138: Let's review together—Andrea's temperament is very special. He is an artist on the field, reserved and elegant, like the cold wind blowing from Lake Como in winter, carrying the chill and aloofness of the snow-capped mountains. His eyes are deep and mysterious, filling people with a desire to explore, wanting to understand through those eyes whether his calm exterior hides a heart burning with passion or shrouded in blizzard...

139th floor: Memorize the whole thing, friends! Learn how to praise your boyfriend!

140th floor: To be honest, I never expected this to be a description of Pirlo. When I think of Pirlo, all I can think of is "sleepy"...

141st floor: That's why he's love-struck; beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

142nd floor: If we're talking about the earliest sweet moment, it should be the one with Nesta, right? It was still in the 2007/08 season, when Nesta took Cabrini home to meet his parents. The Italian media really knew how to write about it, even coming up with "Roman Holiday".

143rd floor: Yes, yes, I still remember this news, it cracked me up. At that time, Cabrini wasn't very famous in China, but Nesta was already a top star. The 313, the roommates, and the childhood sweethearts on the Tiber River were all very popular couples. There were even Nesta's fans who criticized Cabrini for trying to force himself on them!

144th floor: Is the person upstairs talking about Ibuki?

145th floor: I'm dying of laughter in this thread, Big Ibbu, hahahahaha...

146th floor: Looking at it this way, those who criticized Cabrini back then were really like Ibrahimovic, lol!

147th floor: Cabrini and Ibrahimovic have a famous moment, Nesta was also there. After the Milan derby, Nesta wrapped Cabrini in his coat and took him away, and Ibrahimovic was so angry that he kicked the grass on the spot.

148th floor: Hahahaha, although I don't know what happened back then, Cabrini has a bit of a flirtatious nature.

149th floor: I guess it was intentional. Ibrahimovic blocked him from leaving, and then the two of them covered their mouths and talked. I don't know what Ibrahimovic said, but Cabrini's pupils dilated in shock. After Nesta came over, Cabrini started to perform his tea ceremony, haha.

150th floor: I guess they've figured out Ibu's toxic fandom!

Floor 151: Upstairs +1

Floor 152: Upstairs +2

...

178th floor: Actually, the first person to give out candy wasn't Nesta, but someone you wouldn't expect, Inzaghi!

179th floor: Oh right, "Fino Cabrini, you are a miracle in my life!", that has moved me for a lifetime.

180th floor: It was so shocking! I watched the live broadcast of that match. I wasn't very familiar with Cabrini at the time, but when I saw the two handsome guys sticking together, I screamed like a chicken!

181st floor: I watched it too! The visuals are very eye-friendly!

Floor 182: No, no, it went even earlier than that. It was during the European Super Cup in Monaco, probably during the daytime of the "dog-training scene." The Milan team was having free time in Monaco, and the media followed Inzaghi. Knowing Inzaghi's usual style, the media wanted to try their luck and see if they could capture him having a fling. However, he spent the entire afternoon strolling around with his teammates, without any women in sight. The media lost interest and only gave a cursory report, failing to generate any significant buzz. At that time, Cabrini wasn't famous, so the media's cameras were primarily focused on Inzaghi, and that teammate was Cabrini. In other words, this could be considered a date between two people.

183rd floor: Wow...

184th floor: My God, are there still times when two people go on a date?

185th floor: This is the first time I've heard this gossip. How credible is it? Why is it that when Cabrini's good friends from his Milan days are mentioned, only Pirlo, Nesta, and Kaká are mentioned? Even Ambrosini has a higher profile than Inzaghi.

Comment #186: You've hit the nail on the head! My cousin is studying in Europe, and this is something she found on a local forum. The relationship between Cabrini and Inzaghi is really strange. Early on, they seemed very close; they'd whisper on the bench, hold hands when coming on as substitutes, and there was that dramatic "Fino Cabrini, you are a miracle in my life!" moment. But after Cabrini's serious injury and subsequent return in 2008, their relationship soured, and they clearly drifted apart. So, the girls in Europe started piecing together the timeline, and they found evidence of a date in Monaco. Even more shocking, Inzaghi gave Cabrini flowers that day—white tulips, the flower symbolizing pure love.

187th floor: ? ? ?

188th floor: ? ? ?

...

221st floor: Shocking!

222nd floor: So Inzaghi also has a story in the Cabrini universe...?

223rd floor: 186th floor, please say more. What else did the European forum dig up? This couple doesn't really have much popularity in China, unlike Cabrini's other couples who are so popular. There's too little material about them.

224th floor: Yes, yes, say more, I love to hear it!

Post #225: The girls on that forum think Nesta, Pirlo, and Kaká form a small group of four centered around Cabrini, because Cabrini is almost always present in games with three or more players. Initially, Inzaghi would also participate in this group's activities, such as having dinner at Cabrini's house. However, after Cabrini's serious injury and subsequent estrangement from Inzaghi, Inzaghi has basically stopped participating in these activities, whether it's visiting Chinatown or gatherings at Kaká's house. If the activities are expanded beyond this four-person group, Inzaghi would participate, for example, by watching national team matches or going on trips to Lake Como together.

226th floor: (Continuing from above) Looking at it this way, Cabrini and Inzaghi didn't seem to have a complete falling out. They interacted in public and cooperated well on matches, but they just drifted apart. The previous close interactions were gone, leaving only the politeness and courtesy between colleagues. At this point, Inzaghi's behavior becomes quite intriguing. The girls in Europe speculate that Inzaghi and Cabrini might have actually dated, but broke up amicably shortly after. That's why the four-person group no longer invites Inzaghi, but whenever the group expands, Inzaghi will find a way to join in because he wants to reconnect!

227th floor: ? ? ?

228th floor: I'm shocked...

229th floor: European fujoshi have really wild ideas...

230th floor: I'm shipping them, hehe!

231st floor: I got hooked +1. Whether it's true or not, I'll take a bite to taste how salty it is.

232nd floor: Actually, the girls' guesses over there are not unreasonable. The biggest evidence is that Inzaghi no longer goes to nightclubs and there are no more scandals. He seems to have suddenly become indifferent to worldly desires!

233rd floor: What is this? A prodigal son returns, a scoundrel's true heart? Waaah, I'm sorry, looking at Inzaghi's great face, I don't want to call him a scoundrel.

Floor 234: Another piece of evidence is the audience call-in segment at the end of that famous radio program featuring the Pirlo x Cabrini pairing. Cabrini said, "Love someone like a tree, not someone like the wind, because only a tree can give you a sense of security, while the wind won't stay for anyone, and no one can catch the wind." Who in Cabrini's life is like the wind? Unmistakably, it's Inzaghi. Only Inzaghi gives the impression of being free and unrestrained, never staying for anyone.

235th floor: My God, this is so exciting...

236th floor: So Inzaghi really cheated on Cabrini? Goodness, Cabrini was not even 20 years old at that time! The age difference between the two was too big, it felt taboo.

237th floor: My young and innocent lover, as blank as a sheet of paper, has been dyed with the colors I like... How exciting.

238th floor: Young is young, and innocent is one thing, but the legal marriage age in Italy is 18. He's a star player, and who knows how many women he's dated.

239th floor: Shut up, just close your eyes and keep talking. If you really want to delve into the details, you'll be completely wiped out.

240th floor: Ignore 238th floor, let's continue. Is it about molding your young lover into your ideal type, then abandoning them, only to end up in a nightmare of chasing after them?

241st floor: This is so exciting. You think you're in a superior position, but you only realize you've fallen for it when you lose it.

242nd floor: Now that I think about it, Inzaghi's gaze towards Cabrini was indeed very affectionate.

...

287th floor: I have a feeling that the Inzaghi x Cabrini pairing is going to become the most popular pairing on this forum. Takeoff starts today!

288th floor: I feel that Cabrini is not the kind of younger, innocent type. It's not that he's a star player or anything like that. Cabrini has a sense of control about him. I'm not good at describing it. I don't know if anyone can get it.

289th floor: I get it, I get it! Although he's young, he's actually more like someone in a superior position. My impression is that his coldness, aloofness, and arrogance when he's expressionless are his true nature, while his gentle silence is just a means for him to seduce and capture others. He's the one who controls everything.

290th floor: So sexy! The owner's temperament... just think of those famous "dog training scenes"...

291st floor: Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant, the owner's temperament! So apt.

292nd floor: I thought he was an innocent and gentle younger man, but he is actually a powerful figure who controls everything. How exciting.

293rd floor: That makes sense now. Why was he already the core of a small group even before he had officially joined the team, with several established stars revolving around him? He's got some impressive skills!

294th floor: My god, this character is so swoon-worthy...

295th floor: It's also related to his outstanding ability on the field, after all, he's the youngest Ballon d'Or winner. As discussed above, his assist to Gilardino when he was out of form, his heroics in calming Ambrosini after he was sent off, and his perfect fulfillment of Pirlo's role in the match a few days ago, leading Italy into the knockout stage—all of these are inseparable from Cabrini's strong individual ability. Players ultimately let their ability speak for itself. Although Cabrini is young, he's definitely a dominant figure on the field, so it's normal for him to have a masterly demeanor.

296th floor: And Cabrini really dotes on his own people, sob sob, who doesn't like that feeling of being favored? Like being the apple of someone's eye...

297th floor: But his heart is too full of people, it's packed with people... Is it like a durian?
