An unkempt, billionaire seme with a domineering streak who remembers both kindness and grudges

A gentle, lovely, mute mermaid uke who lies to steal your heart, but never your money
Cen Yu was raised by his father alone. In defiance of evil feudalism, he became extremely chauvinistic.
From childhood onward, his unbearably smug, little-king vibe made him wildly unpopular.
Cen Yu himself thoroughly enjoyed being single, until he turned twenty and a teacher asked him to mentor a junior student in his first year of graduate school.
The moment they met, Cen Yu said, "Did you have such an easy life that you decided to join the lab early? I suggest you come back next year."
He went on and on, but the other person didn't say a word.
Only later did Cen Yu learn that his junior was mute.
Cen Yu frowned and scolded him. "Even if you can't speak, you should use sign language to insult me back. Got it?"
Then Cen Yu discovered that his junior didn't know sign language either.
Cen Yu had no idea what to do. He didn't want to take care of a kid at all.
He carried on like a fool, but his junior stayed by his side and eagerly looked after him.
In the end, Cen Yu reluctantly said, "You're so clueless, nobody else will want to mentor you either. Just stick with me."
Years later, the successful Cen Yu was invited onto a profile interview show.
Following the script, the host asked, "Mr. Cen, what's the thing you regret most in your life?"
Cen Yu thought for a moment, then answered seriously, "When I was twenty, my junior tricked me into giving him my body and my heart, then humiliated me with money."
The audience was aghast.
Hearing this old story, the host quickly tried to steer things back on track and asked, "...Then what's the happiest thing in your life?"
Cen Yu smiled and bragged, "Catching him in the deep sea."
His junior was a mermaid, but that didn't matter. He'd catch him, no matter whether he was on land or sea, in heaven or on earth.
