Ao Yin seems like someone who believes that MC, his mate, should be involved in everything he does. He reads to me as someone who wants his partner to understand and be there for him not only for what he has, but also for what he lacks in. To truly know him at both his best and worst.
His lack of senses dawned on me when I noticed his hand was over MC's eyes. This was an invitation into how he perceives the world.
As everybody probably already knows by now, wolves see a narrower range of color than humans, they also have fewer taste buds compared to us so their sense of taste is comparatively weaker. But what they lose there, they gain elsewhere. They pick up movement and low light with striking sensitivity, their noses read the air in ways ours can’t, and their ears catch sounds far beyond human range. For a wolf, they had to adapt with what was handed to them. It’s what their survival depends on, finding prey, sensing danger, and reading or understanding the environment to keep their pack safe all rely on senses working together rather than sight carrying the load alone.
So when he says "human's have five senses, yet they sense such a narrow world", he may mean this in sight. Humans heavily lean on sight which can probably overtake the quieter senses like scent, hearing, taste, and touch. Blocking her eyes clears room for those other senses to surface, letting her feel the grass they lay on, his body's warmth, listen to his voice and the leaves rustling in wind, and smell the fresh air.
But overall, Ao Yin probably is just offering MC a chance to borrow his way of feeling the world for a moment.

When Ao Yin comes back, I look forward to reading/watching this scene in full right away.
I am so curious if they explore more about senses or about hunting in this memory.
I know Valko would give the softest, a bit clumsy, sweet kisses ever 🙂↕️
(with bottom lip licks and nips because of his wolf instincts)
