    Using the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics ({\tt UrQMD}) model, we investigate the azimuthal correlations in p--Pb collisions at sNN=5.02\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}}=5.02 TeV. It is shown that the simulated hadronic p--Pb system can not generate the collective flow signatures, but mainly behaves as a non-flow dominant system. However, the characteristic v2(pT)v_{2}(p_{\rm T}) mass-ordering of pions, kaons and protons is observed in {\tt UrQMD} simulations, which is the consequence of hadronic interactions and not necessarily associated with strong fluid-like expansions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, proceedings for the 12th International Conference on Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions (21-26 June 2015, Catania
