Chapter 364
"Yeah," Gavin replied, nodding with a sullen expression. The icy air he was giving off made it clear that he was
unhappy.
Yolanda sensed that Gavin was a little upset. So, she gently shook his wrist and explained, "Sharon said she's
never attended an art festival held by a school, so | invited her to come."
After all, it was only for half a day. Yolanda didn't think it would make much of a difference. Besides, once Sharon
went into the campus, she wouldn't hang around with them the entire time.
Gavin didn't say anything, but his expression softened slightly, which was a sign of reluctant acceptance.
"Yolanda, does your academy have any good food?" Sharon looked around and had already spotted many food
stalls.
"Snacks? There's a whole street dedicated to them near the gymnasium," Yolanda replied, recalling the layout
map of the art festival.

"I want to go there!" Sharon's eyes lit up, and she seemed eager to head to the gymnasium immediately. She
looked around and asked, "Which way is the gymnasium?"
"Just keep walking along that road ahead. When you reach the intersection, turn right. You'll see the sign for the
gym." Yolanda pointed out the direction.
"Okay, I'll grab something to eat first. I'll join you at the art exhibit later," Sharon said. She didn't forget that
Yolanda planned to visit the art exhibit.
"Alright, see you later," Yolanda said, waving her off.
After Sharon left, Yolanda and Gavin went to the art gallery. Since today was the last day of the exhibition, there
were quite a lot of visitors.
First Academy had always strongly emphasized the holistic education of its students. In addition to the main
curriculum, the school encouraged students to cultivate their interests and hobbies. The Art Festival was held
each semester to showcase students’ talents in various fields.
However, perhaps because most of the academy's students had already visited the exhibit in the previous days,
the visitors that day were primarily people from outside the school. Aside from art teachers and critics, some
students’ parents were also present.
Yolanda and Gavin began their tour following the guide map pasted at the entrance. Unfortunately, after viewing
most of the exhibited works, Yolanda found that none of them truly stood out as pieces that could be called real
art.
"It seems | overestimated the standards here," Yolanda muttered, shaking her
head. She had no interest in viewing the remaining pieces.
Riverdale was just a small city, after all. Even though First Academy was considered the best school here, it
couldn't compare to institutions in Creybia. There were hardly any students here who could be considered
genuinely talented.
"Shall we take a stroll where they sell the snacks?" Gavin suggested, aware that Yolanda enjoyed snacks and
small treats.
"Sure, let's find Sharon and let her know it's not worth her tvisiting the exhibit," Yolanda agreed.
Gavin and Yolanda were about to turn around and head back when they suddenly heard voices coming from the
crowd behind them.
"This drawing is incredible!"
"A genius! This is the work of a real genius!"
"If I didn't know better, I'd think it was a photograph!"
Most of the people visiting today were knowledgeable and wouldn't praise a piece of mediocre work so highly.
Yolanda paused and looked back, noticing a dense crowd gathered around one of the paintings. It was impossible
to see what was on display.
"Let's go take a look." Gavin knew Yolanda very well. Without waiting for her to speak, he took her hand and led
her toward the crowd.
