Answer: If you want to retrieve the selected field from Elasticsearch C-Sharp then you should use the "Source" option that the NEST Library and Elasticsearch provide. See the code below:

 await _elasticClient.SearchAsync<MyModel>
        (
             s => s.Source(sf => sf
            .Includes(i => i
            .Fields(
                f => f.MyField,
                f => f.Category,
                f => f.AnotherOne,
                f => f.Id,
                f => f.AnotherField
            )
        )
        )
