[ Xue Yang grins at that, but before the laugh is out of his mouth he realizes Xiao Xingchen is moving. Xiao Xingchen is much stronger than him in a fight when he's being serious, Xue Yang is well aware of this. His speed is no joke even if Xue Yang prides himself on his own speed.
The sudden unexpected movement has his old instincts acting up, the instincts of someone raised on the streets who had always fight to get and keep his meal or his life. But it's not enough time for him to properly react, and though his immediate thought is to move himself backwards he can't get the leverage to do it before Xiao Xingchen makes contact. The best Xue Yang manages is pulling his left arm back, making sure if nothing else that Xiao Xingchen can't reach for it--
And he only registers the arms have wrapped around his waist a second later. ]
