Q: can we eat cheese(hard or soft) with cows milk together?(drinking cows milk after eating cheese) does it block nutrients absorption such as protein and calcium?

: Yes, any Cheese and Milk can be eaten together. Since cheese is just curdled, cultured milk, it has the same proteins and calcium. Calcium can block the absorption of Iron found in meats, so they should not be eaten together.
