I have adviced to use C-u C-x C-x to jump back to latest position I jumped before. For example, if I do M-< and C-u C-x C-x, first I jump beginning of the file and come back to point I jumped.
When I do C-x C-x it does the same operation and also marks it. Since I don't need to mark it, is it possible to obtain C-u C-x C-xs behavior, when I press C-x C-x?
Better advice would have been to use C-u C-SPC to return to where the mark has been set. Using C-u C-x C-x to return to where the mark has been set runs the function exchange-point-and-mark which puts the mark where point used to be which is probably not what you wanted.
If you still want what you asked for here it is:
(defun alt-exchange-point-and-mark (&optional arg)
(interactive "P")
(exchange-point-and-mark (not arg)))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-x") 'alt-exchange-point-and-mark)
alt-exchange-point-and-mark is perform, when we jump to line, can the jumped line be on the center of the frame? @Aidan Schofield
C-l will put the line that the point is in at the centre of the window. It runs the command recenter-top-bottom so you could throw that into the definition of alt-exchange-point-and-mark at the end if you wish.

M-< if I make paste, it won't get back to point I jumped instead it jumps back to starting location of where paste happens
