[Despite the strange position, this also feels more familiar to Xiao Xingchen, tension also lessening as he grows more confident with the kiss. He leans forward to wrap his arms around Xue Yang, hands splayed across his back. He's taken this form outside of the cafe from time to time, but inside it, he's dedicated to using it alongside others who have transformed to make it feel more ordinary for those others to do so. If he wants to give Xue Yang the impression that every encounter with him is just business, it also makes sense to stay in this body. Even if there are some feelings he hasn't felt in a long time in his usual form...
Finding a way to excise Xue Yang from his life entirely would surely be more wise, but he would have to give up everything else he's managed here so far, possibly just to be found again. There would be no point.
Whether he wants to or not is a matter he needs not address, if he thinks of it like that.
Soon enough he pulls back for air, still close enough for their noses to touch, less tense now that whatever strange mood has passed. But through the haze of their kiss, he now has a sense that... he should not let this go ignored. After something so sudden, Xue Yang can't expect that to not be commented on.]
