The Tan brothers and sisters, who had seen what happened, kept walking with embarrassment and anger on their faces. It seemed like they thought Zhu Longwei had done something illicit with their sister right there in public.
Tan Guoliang was not sure what was going on. Ancient Chinese beliefs and traditions said that any physical touch between a woman and a man was a serious matter and was seen as the same as a woman losing her virginity unless they were fighting.
The best thing for the person who touched her to do would be to marry her. This would stop any rumors from spreading and protect their family's reputation.
But this happened by accident, and Zhu Longwei was only trying to help. He fell because the weight of her body caught him by surprise.
