Eaves Under the Rain

Fake Siblings / Age Gap with an Older Man / Foster Family

A respectable-looking, mature man x a younger woman who plays dumb while hiding her claws

-

Lu Mingge really dislikes Lu Chengyan.

From childhood on, whenever she did something wrong or messed something up, she could get away with it by acting cute and sweet.

He was the only one who never fell for it.

When she got a bad grade, she would say with teary eyes that she would do better next time.

He would hold up her test paper and say coldly, "There isn't much room left for your grades to drop, is there?"

When she got into a fight, she would insist it wasn't all her fault and show him the wound that was almost healed.

He would put a bandage on it and sneer, "You've got a tough streak, at least."

Lu Mingge angrily wrote in her diary: Lu Chengyan, you have a mean streak.

But in front of other people, the phrase he said most often was:

"If Mingge has done anything wrong, it's because I, her little uncle, failed to teach her properly. I hope you'll overlook it for my sake."

I know the storms in my life will never stop.

And you are the roof over my head when it rains.
