It could have been a puritanical new regulation laid out by High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge, one of the villains in the Harry Potter series:
"Any physical contact between boys and girls at school is forbidden, including hand-holding, handshakes, hugging, patting, carrying people on the back and kissing. Boys and girls should only talk together in well-lit places such as the classroom or hallway. Exclusive talk between one boy and one girl is prohibited. Any conversation between members of the opposite sex should be vocal, and any dialogue via letter, QQ messenger or mobile phone at school is against the rules..."
So read the new rules issued by the Yizhou No 1 High School in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
